While wandering through a convenience store late one night during a recent trip to Los Angeles, I stumbled upon something that instantly caught my eye—cold eggnog, calling out to me like an old friend. It was my first sip of the holiday season, and it felt like the perfect start to the festive cheer ahead. Once back home, I wasted no time heading to the grocery store to restock my kitchen. That’s when I grabbed a carton of Pumpkin Spice Eggnog, eager to dive into all the seasonal flavors without the hassle of making it myself.
The next morning, inspired by the eggnog’s creamy goodness, I decided to create something special for breakfast: Eggnog Waffles topped with a drizzle of Nutmeg Syrup. With a long list of Christmas tasks looming ahead (since I’d been traveling all of November and only just returned in early December), I needed a cozy start to the day. These waffles were exactly what I needed—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, they were ideal for any Christmas morning spread!
For those who aren’t big fans of nutmeg, don’t worry—you can easily adjust the amount. I tend to sprinkle generously, but remember, a little goes a long way. If eggnog isn’t your thing, this syrup also pairs beautifully with gingerbread waffles. Trust me, it’s a match made in flavor heaven!
Here’s how you can recreate this delightful breakfast:
**Eggnog Waffles with Nutmeg Syrup**
**Ingredients:**
*For the waffles:*
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups eggnog
- 6 tablespoons melted butter, slightly cooled
- 1 tablespoon rum (optional)
*For the syrup:*
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- â…“ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon rum extract (optional)
**Instructions:**
*For the waffles:*
Start by whisking together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. In a larger bowl, mix the eggs, eggnog, melted butter, and rum (if using). Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Lightly grease your waffle iron and pour the batter onto it to cook according to the manufacturer's instructions.
*For the syrup:*
Combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water in a saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for two minutes, stirring occasionally, until the syrup thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, and rum extract (if using). Serve warm over the waffles.
There you have it—a cozy, Christmassy breakfast to brighten your morning. Whether you're hosting a holiday brunch or simply craving something special for yourself, these Eggnog Waffles with Nutmeg Syrup are sure to hit the spot. Enjoy them with a cup of coffee or tea, and savor every bite of the season’s magic.
