Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups eggnog
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the wet ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter might be slightly lumpy, and that’s okay.
Step 5
Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Step 6
Scoop the waffle batter (amount depends on your waffle iron size, typically 1/2 to 3/4 cup) into the preheated waffle iron and spread it out evenly if needed.
Step 7
Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's directions, usually 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.
Step 8
Carefully remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
Step 9
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, or even additional nutmeg for garnish.
