Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
To Serve
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Begin by warming up your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agents.
- Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the eggnog, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
- Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the waffles tough.
- Cook the waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually until the waffle is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve immediately with a generous drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious sweet finish.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- For extra crispiness, you can brush the waffle iron with a little melted butter before cooking.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or oven.
- Adjust the nutmeg and cinnamon to your taste preference for spice levels.
- Use high-quality maple syrup for the best flavor pairing.
