Another recipe for eggnog pancakes, this one using leftover eggnog. What to do with a lonely leftover quart of eggnog? May I suggest extending the holiday cheer a bit with a nice stack of Eggnog Pancakes? Eggnog Pancakes 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon Pinch nutmeg 1 1/2 cups eggnog (can use light) 2 tablespoons oil 1 large egg, beaten In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk to blend ingredients. Preheat griddle to medium-high (I set my electric skillet to 300 degrees F). In a separate bowl, stir together eggnog, oil, and egg. Pour into dry ingredients and whisk just until dry ingredients are moistened. Batter will be fairly thick. Drop batter by quarter-cupfuls onto oiled skillet. Cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. (Because the batter is so thick, check the bottoms before bubbles break at the surface so they don’t burn.) Turn and cook other side. Keep warm in oven until all the batter is cooked. Serve pancakes warm with butter and syrup or honey. Enjoy! Serves 4 to 6.

inkless-pen: I’ve broken down Eggnog into a few simple elements and thrown those elements into pancake batter… not all that genuis, but outta this world delicious. All you need to rally that spot on Eggnog flavor is a bit of brown sugar, freshly grated nutmeg, eggs, milk and whiskey or rum. If you don’t want to use the alcohol for your pancakes…well that’s totally understandable. A good dose of pure vanilla extract will treat you just fine. - Recipe for Eggnog Pancakes
