Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Small Pot
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Waffle Iron

Ingredients
 
 

Batter

  • 284 grams all purpose flour
  • 28 grams cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground vanilla bean
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 226 grams salted butter
  • 1 ½ cups eggnog
  • 4 large eggs

For Serving

  • maple syrup
  • salted butter

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, cane sugar, sea salt, baking powder, vanilla bean, cloves, and nutmeg and whisk together.
  • In a small saucepan, add the butter and put over medium heat. As soon as the butter is melted, remove from heat.
  • Add the eggnog, eggs, and melted butter to the flour mixture and whisk until a smooth batter forms. (This is where you can just cover the bowl with plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for the next morning, or you can make the waffles now. Just let the batter come to room temperature before adding to waffle iron so it can spread out evenly.)
  • Preheat your waffle iron and use 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup batter per waffle (depending on size you want). Cook for 2 to 4 minutes, or follow the directions for your waffle iron.
  • Serve with bananas slices and maple syrup.

Notes

Tips
  • Always weigh ingredients for the best results.
  • You can use any kind of waffle iron here, Belgium, or regular, I've tested both.
  • You can melt the butter in the microwave or over the stovetop, either works.
  • You can use a round or square waffle iron, either works. I've made this using both, just depends on the size or shape you want!
  • You can make the batter ahead of time, just cover and store in the fridge. Then it's ready to remove on Christmas morning and heat up the waffle iron!
  • You can freeze extra waffles in a freezer safe container or zip bag. Just pop in the toaster or air fryer.
