Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (Freshly grated if possible)
- 2 tbsp Sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tbsp Butter (Melted)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 cups Eggnog
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter, eggnog, and eggs until fully combined. Then add the sugar and mix again until thoroughly incorporated.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Stir the dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Combine Wet & Dry Mixtures: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently just until combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy; avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
- Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray or melted butter. Scoop the batter onto the waffle maker and cook according to your machine’s instructions until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Serve the waffles hot with maple syrup, butter, and an extra sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg, if desired.
Notes
- These eggnog waffles are bursting with the warm flavors of nutmeg and festive eggnog, making them ideal for the holiday season.
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will result in fluffier waffles.
- Serve with plenty of maple syrup and butter for the best flavor experience.
- Freshly grate the nutmeg if possible to enhance the aroma and taste.
