WAFFLE INGREDIENTS
2 1/4 c flour
3/4 c dark brown sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites
1 c butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp rum extract
1/2 c milk
1/2 c eggnog
1/4 c heavy cream
1/4 c rum
1 tsp cinnamon
RAISINS AND ADD IN
1 c raisins

3 Tbsp christmas jimmies or sprinkles
TO SERVE
whipped cream
maple or butter pecan syrup
OPTIONAL BUTTERED RUM SYRUP
1 stick butter
1 c brown sugar
1 c rum
1 Tbsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Take raisins and cover with rum for 1 day or at least overnight. Set aside.
  • 2. Beat egg yolks and sugar for 1 minute. Add vanilla, rum extract, and melted butter. Beat until well incorporated. At this step, you can optionally brown your butter before you combine for a nuttier taste.
  • 3. Separately, beat the heavy cream until it thickens, but does not become whipped cream yet. Add milk, eggnog, and rum.
  • 4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Toss with a fork until combined.
  • 5. Alternately add the egg mixture and milk mixture to the flour mixture, beating as you go. Continue until all is added and well combined.
  • 6. Add rum raisins and jimmies (sprinkles). Stir well.
  • 7. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. Fold into batter.
  • 8. Preheat your waffle iron. Spray only the first time with non-stick spray. Follow your particular waffle iron instructions.
  • 9. Serve with syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
  • 10. If making the buttered rum syrup, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook down until a syrupy consistency. Serve warm.
