- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg yolks and then mix in the egg nog, butter, and water. Mix thoroughly.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined. Set aside.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Bake the waffles in a pre-heated waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown. For our waffle maker, it's best of we vigorously bang the waffle maker back and forth a few times to evenly distribute the batter. Then cook for about 3 minutes on one side, flip the waffle make and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
