Description
Eggnog Pancakes are a festive breakfast treat that brings the flavors of the holiday season to your morning. Soft, fluffy, and filled with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, these pancakes are rich and creamy thanks to the eggnog. They are perfect for cozy mornings, brunches, or holiday gatherings. With simple ingredients and easy steps, you can enjoy the comfort of eggnog in pancake form.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ¼ cups eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggnog, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Scoop about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use plant-based eggnog and dairy-free butter.
If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the amount of milk or add a little extra flour.
These pancakes pair well with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra sweetness.
