Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup eggnog
- 1/4 cup milk (adjust as needed for consistency)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for greasing the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the eggnog, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings like whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg, or maple syrup.
Enjoy these festive Eggnog Pancakes for a breakfast that tastes like the holidays!
