Eggnog Waffles

Eggnog is one of those things you want to have every holiday season, but  can never drink the whole carton before it goes bad.  This is a great way to use some of it up!  Tis the season!

I love the smell of eggnog, but can't seem to choke it down.  I think it is a texture thing for me.  But I love the "idea" of eggnog, and the smell.  I wanted to try it in a breakfast dish, so I came up with an eggnog waffle.  I loved these. . . even without syrup.  I love that I could taste the eggnog in each bite!  In these,  I used lowfat eggnog, but you could use pumpkin eggnog, or whatever!  


EGGNOG WAFFLES


INGREDIENTS:

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 cups eggnog (I used lowfat)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 TSBP sugar
• 2 large eggs - beaten
• 4 TSBP butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• dash nutmeg

DIRECTIONS:

In a bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
In a seperate bowl, mix together eggnog, eggs, milk, vanilla and melted butter until well mixed.   Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Mix until smooth. Cook waffles in well-greased preheated waffle iron until deep golden brown.  These seemed to rise a lot, just fyi.
