How To Make christmas morning rum raisin belgian waffles

  • Step 1
    Take raisins and cover with rum for 1 day or at least overnight. Set aside.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 3
    Separately, beat the heavy cream until it thickens, but does not become whipped cream yet. Add milk, eggnog, and rum.
  • Step 4
    In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Toss with a fork until combined.
  • Step 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.
  • Step 6
    Add rum raisins and jimmies (sprinkles). Stir well.
  • Step 7
    In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks are formed. Fold into batter.
  • Step 8
    Preheat your waffle iron. Spray only the first time with non-stick spray. Follow your particular waffle iron instructions.
  • Step 9
    Serve with syrup, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
  • Step 10
    If making the buttered rum syrup, combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook down until a syrupy consistency. Serve warm.
