Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ¾ cups eggnog
- ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp white rum or Wray & Nephew (optional but delicious)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Waffle Iron
- Let it fully heat up so your waffles get crisp edges and cook evenly.
Combine All Dry Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
- flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg
- These spices give the waffles that signature holiday flavor.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk:
- eggs, eggnog, melted butter or oil, vanilla, rum (totally optional)
- The eggnog makes your waffles extra rich and creamy.
Bring Everything Together
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture.
- Gently fold until just combined — don’t overmix! A few small lumps are okay.
- Cook the Waffles
- Lightly grease the waffle iron.
- Pour batter into the center and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy
- We love our eggnog waffles topped with:
- maple syrup, whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon, rum caramel, berries or sliced bananas
