It's almost Christmas! I don't know about you but I love all things eggnog. It has a rich eggy taste that works really well in baked goods. Here the eggnog stands in for the traditional buttermilk or milk. Fresh ground nutmeg really makes the eggnog flavor shine, and should not be skipped. You can use already ground nutmeg, but nothing beats fresh. Add this to your Christmas morning menu and and you'll be primed for unwrapping gifts. Big cozy sweater is optional. Enjoy!

Heat waffle iron as per manufacturer's instructions.
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk until combined.
