Description

Fluffy eggnog pancakes infused with nutmeg and drizzled with homemade vanilla syrup, perfect for festive breakfasts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for syrup)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
  • 1/2 cup water (for syrup)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (for syrup)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Make the Vanilla Syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Stir until the butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tsp vanilla extract. Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg until fully combined.
  3. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup eggnog, 1/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp melted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Stir gently until just combined.
  5. Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface; flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Serve Warm: Stack pancakes, pour vanilla syrup over the top, add a pat of butter, and dust with nutmeg.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best results. Serve with crispy bacon or seasonal fruit.
