Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Eggnog
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the pan)
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of nutmeg
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground nutmeg, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggnog, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or butter.
Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Make sure to leave space between each pancake so they can spread slightly.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your choice of whipped cream, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a sprinkle of nutmeg for an extra festive touch.
