EGGNOG-RASPBERRY BELGIAN WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat a Belgian waffle iron.
• Mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Stir in 1 cup eggnog, butter, and the egg until well blended. Add more eggnog if needed to make a pourable batter.
• Lightly grease or spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour some batter onto the preheated waffle iron, close the top, and cook until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Waffles are usually cooked with steam subsides. Transfer waffles to a serving plate, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, place the raspberry preserves in a pan, and heat over medium heat until pourable.
• To serve, drizzle raspberry preserves over each waffle, and top with raspberries. If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream to each waffle.

SCRATCH EGGNOG WAFFLES

Steps:

• Plug in an electric waffle iron to heat.
• Make whipped cream: Beat whipping cream, vanilla extract, cream of tartar and a pinch of salt until you have fairly stiff peaks. Refrigerate the whipped cream.
• Make waffles: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add the oil and eggs then slowly whisk in the eggnog, starting with about a half cup. The ultimate amount of eggnog required will depend on the characteristics of your flour, the humidity and temperature. Add eggnog and whisk until the mixture is the consistency of heavy whipping cream.
• Cook the waffles according your griddle's instructions. Serve each with a dollop of whipped cream with a candy cane on top. Dust with powdered sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon or mace as desired. Serve with warmed syrup of choice. (Peppermint infused maple syrup might be nice if not 'over the top'!).

EGGNOG WAFFLES A LA MODE

Steps:

• Make the waffles: Warm the milk and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking occasionally, until a thermometer registers 105 degrees F; remove from the heat. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and whisk to dissolve; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, nutmeg, salt and cloves in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Whisk the melted butter into the milk mixture, then pour into the well in the flour and whisk until almost smooth (a few small lumps are OK). Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until the batter has doubled in size and is bubbly, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Put a wire rack on a baking sheet. Preheat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer?s directions, then lightly brush with melted butter. Stir the eggs and egg yolk and rum into the batter. (The batter will deflate.) Working in batches, fill the waffle iron about three-quarters full with batter and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 7 minutes. Transfer the waffles to the rack and keep warm in the oven between batches.
• Make the topping: Combine the dulce de leche, rum and nutmeg in a small bowl; stir until smooth. Gradually add 2 to 3 teaspoons warm water until
• thin enough to drizzle. Top the waffles with ice cream and drizzle with the dulce de leche.
