Eggnog Pancakes

(4 servings)

  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1 large egg - lightly beaten
  • 2 Tablespoons butter - melted and cooled
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
As of December 2013, I adjusted this recipe slightly. In response to comments saying the batter was too thick, I increased the amount of eggnog to 1 and 1/2 cups. That worked great for me. Just add additional eggnog to the batter in Tablespoon amounts if it's still a bit too thick. I also changed the butter to "melted" instead of "softened". In my experience with pancakes, melted butter always integrates better and helps make a smoother batter. With those change (reflected above), this is a great recipe.

How To Make Eggnog Pancakes

Heat griddle or skillet to medium heat. Coat lightly with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, sift flour with sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix well.

Pour batter - about 1/4 cup per pancake - onto griddle. When pancakes begin to bubble on top, flip and cook until both sides are golden brown.

Serve with butter and powdered sugar. A sprinkle of grated nutmeg is great finishing touch.


Making Eggnog Pancakes


Variations:

To make Chocolate Chip Eggnog Pancakes, sprinkle 7 or chocolate chips over each pancake right after you dollop the batter on the griddle. Flip and cook as usual.

To make Banana Eggnog Pancakes, slice a banana into 1/4-inch coins. As soon as you dollop the batter on the griddle, place a few banana slices on each pancake. Flip and cook as directed above.


Topping Idea:

If you really want to holiday up this breakfast, try making a Maple Cranberry Topping for the pancakes. Take 1 and 1/2 cups fresh (or thawed frozen) cranberries, 3 Tablespoons of butter and 1 cup pure maple syrup and simmer those ingredients together in a medium sauce pan for 15 minutes until cranberries have burst. If desired, add 2/3 cup chopped pecans during the last 5 minutes of simmering.

A fantastic holiday breakfast. I look forward to my supermarket carrying eggnog every Christmas season so we can make these. Enjoy.
