Ingredients
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1¼ cups eggnog store-bought or homemade
- ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Whipped Cream
- maple syrup
- Fresh fruit
- powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the eggnog, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter might be slightly lumpy, but avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
- Using a ¼ cup measure, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet. Allow sufficient space between each pancake to avoid merging during cooking.
- Allow to cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes (usually 2-3 minutes). Then flip them using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Plate the pancakes and serve warm with your chosen toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes
- Recipe should yield approximately 12 pancakes.
- Eggnog Choice: You can use either store-bought or homemade eggnog. If you prefer a richer flavor, opt for a high-quality eggnog.
- Flour Alternatives: For a healthier twist, try substituting half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- Adjusting Spices: Feel free to tweak the amounts of nutmeg and cinnamon to suit your taste. A little extra can really enhance the festive flavor!
- Non-Stick Tip: If you don't have a non-stick skillet, make sure to use enough butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Batter Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a little more eggnog to thin it out. If it's too runny, add a bit more flour.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter until just combined to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
