Calories: 659kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 3 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups eggnog, adjust amount depending on how thick eggnog is, I used a fresh store brand
- ⅔ cup vegetable or avocado oil
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + 1 teaspoon rum extract
- Garnishes: whipped cream, sprinkle of nutmeg, maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- In a large bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggnog, oil, egg YOLKS and vanilla extract. Pour into the dry mixture and whisk until just mixed. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Using your Kitchen Aid or other electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into the batter. Leave some streaks so you do not overmix it.
- Heat waffle iron.
- When hot, pour1 cup batter onto hot griddle. Close and invert. Cook until waffle is brown and crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Remove and place waffle directly on wire rack in preheated oven to keep warm while cooking remaining waffles.
- Serve with your favorite accompaniments like butter and syrup. Make it special for the holidays with a topping of whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.
Notes
STORE/FREEZE/REHEAT
Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freeze waffles by laying them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will keep well for up to 3 months.
Reheat waffles in a toaster or a 350°F oven until heated through and crisp.
