Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended to distribute the spices and leavening evenly.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggnog, large egg, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
  4. Preheat cooking surface: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface if necessary to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook pancakes: Using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, pour onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, or fresh fruit for a festive and delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
  • You can substitute milk for eggnog if desired, but the eggnog adds a festive flavor.
  • Adjust spices according to taste—more nutmeg or cinnamon for a stronger holiday flavor.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  • Butter or oil can be used to grease the skillet for better browning.
