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!
Eggnog Waffles
Equipment
- waffle iron
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 cup eggnog non alcoholic, preferably all natural
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar and eggnog. Add the melted butter slowly until combined. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. The batter will be lumpy. Let the batter stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Pour the batter evenly over the waffle iron. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Serve with maple syrup and butter sprinkled with an extra grating of fresh nutmeg on top.
Notes
This recipe was tested using a Belgium style waffle iron. It will make 4 waffles. The batter can easily be doubled as needed. Enjoy!
