Ingredients
- 4 pieces Day-old waffles
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 1 cups Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices; optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish wide enough to fit one waffle at a time.
Step 4
Dip a waffle into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly. Allow any excess mixture to drip off.
Step 5
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet or griddle. Place the coated waffle into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Repeat with the remaining waffles, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Step 6
Remove the waffles from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and top with your favorite fresh fruit if desired.
Step 7
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and enjoy!
