Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tbsp Butter (Melted)
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Eggnog
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (Freshly grated if possible)
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl or a liquid measuring cup, mix together the melted butter, eggnog, and eggs until fully combined. Stir in the sugar and mix again to incorporate.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and freshly grated nutmeg until the dry ingredients are evenly combined.
- Mix Batter: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently stir until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has a few lumps—overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Prepare Waffle Maker Surface: Spray the waffle maker with nonstick cooking spray or brush it lightly with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Scoop the batter onto the heated waffle maker and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, usually until golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Serve the warm waffles with maple syrup, butter, and a dusting of freshly ground nutmeg for a festive finish.

- Serve them generously topped with maple syrup, butter, and extra nutmeg for the best taste experience.
- Use freshly grated nutmeg whenever possible for a more vibrant aroma and flavor.
