Traditionally made with eggs, sugar, and milk, eggnog recipes have evolved from a simple whisk-and-serve to a more complex brew that may be flavored with chocolate, coconuts, spices…..
Eggnog makes these nutmeg-perfumed pancakes tender and tasty. 🙂
Ingredients
1 cups All Purpose flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
3Tbsp Granulated Sugar
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
¼ tsp Freshly Grated Nutmeg (or more depending on your taste)
1 cup of Eggnog
About 1/4 cup of milk
1 Egg, separated
For Eggnog
1 cup heavy cream
1 large Egg
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
grated nutmeg
(Blend altogether with stand mixer)
This is the simple Eggnog
Method
1) Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks, set aside.
2) In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg, set aside.
3) In a separate bowl of large measuring cup, whisk together the egg yolks, vanilla and eggnog, pour this mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the milk a little at a time until your batter is thick enough to still resemble a traditional pancake batter but thinned out just a bit.
4) Fold in the egg whites carefully, allow the batter to rest while you preheat your griddle pan over medium heat.
5) Grease your griddle pan with a little non stick spray or butter. Using a 1/3 cup measuring device, form your pancakes and allow them to cook for just a couple minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides and fully cooked through.
