Instructions
For the waffles:
You need to understand the manufacturer’s instructions on pre-heating your Waffle iron/Oven before use. The basic step is to heat the oven to 225°F, then place a large baking sheet in the preparation for the making of your delicious waffles.
Get a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. Just set it aside.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk the eggnog, eggs and vanilla to make a froth. Stir in the butter slowly, then stir the mixture together with the flour to form a thick batter. You can also make the batter a day ahead and refrigerate. You are ready to cook, evenly stir the batter.
Arriving at an accurate amount of batter is a matter of practice and most importantly, the machine you are using. You want the Belgian-style round waffle, fill with ¾ batter. If you are going smaller, fill with a heaping 1/3 batter.
Cooking should be between 3 to 4 minutes to achieve a golden-brown result on all sides.
Using the pre-heated baking sheet, store until you’re ready to serve.
To make Whipped Cream
Inside the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, pour in the whole cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Power on the mixer, starting from low then move to high, then whip till it foams at the peak.
To make Cinnamon Syrup;
Using a small saucepan, fill in the cinnamon and light brown sugar and stir till it mix together.
The cornstarch should be dissolved into the water, then poured into the saucepan.
Place on medium heat and stir occasionally to bring to a simmer. Stir and allow it to cook for around 2-3 minutes, bring out a thick mixture.
Remove from heat, add the butter and vanilla extract, then stir until the butter is completely melted. Allow the syrup to cool down before usage. It can either be served warm or cold.
