Eggnog Pancakes
2011 © copyright Savory Simple, all rights reserved
I’m not usually a big fan of pancakes but wow these are good. The eggnog fits wonderfully in place of buttermilk and adds a richness and depth of flavor you won’t normally find in a standard pancake recipe. They’re light, fluffy, and taste wonderful drizzled with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Can you think of anything more perfect for a cozy holiday morning with family?
I am counting the hours until vacation. I can’t wait!
YIELD: 9-10 6 inch pancakes COOK TIME: 20-30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups high quality eggnog such as Organic Valley or Southern Comfort
- 2 large eggs
Method:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. Don’t over-mix the batter; there should be lumps.
- Heat a griddle pan to medium high. Lightly grease the pan with butter or vegetable oil.
- Ladle the batter onto the griddle. I like using a batter dispenser
to keep the pancakes even and round.
- Flip the pancakes when they begin to bubble on top and the edges have dried a bit. Cook for an additional minute.
- Serve warm.

These looks so great. I don’t really like drinking eggnog, but I like the flavor of eggnog, so these sound perfect for me!
What a great use for egg nog! Loved your egg not cupcakes so I’m sure this will be amazing, too. :)
Those look amazingly fulffy! I may have to whip up a batch for my brother over the holidays…he loves eggnog!
What a brilliant idea!
Eggnog pancakes?! Oh my gosh….those look great. I’ll have to try them. What a cute blog you have!
Just stick one more pancake on that stack and send ‘em my way.
I so wanted to make these, or eggnog muffins, but the hubs wouldn’t let me have any of the eggnog!! I did not even know he liked it so much :)
Merry Christmas!!
These sound fabulous!
Wow! I want those for breakfast.
Very pretty picture – lovely light.
I do love pancakes and I do love eggnog, so these sound like a little bit of Christmas morning heaven.
Oh my! I have homemade egg nog in the fridge right now, and it’s just about enough for these, so I know what I’m doing for breakfast tomorrow!!
I’m not a big pancake fan either, but these look so festive! Maybe they’ll convert me too!
Ummmm…..YUM
They look so yummy, great shot!
I love egg nog pancakes. I can only eat pancakes made with either it or buttermilk. Otherwise they are too “cake-y” for me.
delicious! happy holidays, Savory!
Yum! Eggnog must be in the air, I just posted an eggnog recipe too! Have a great holiday!
How long do you usually let the pancakes cook on each side? I tried to flip them but completely failed. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m impatient or because I really can’t flip them. Learning how to flip pancakes is on my bucket list :)
It takes practice. I usually mess the first one up while the skillet is coming to the proper temperature. Look for bubbles on top of the uncooked side to see when it’s ready to flip. If you get a bit of “batter splatter” at first it’s usually easy to use a spatula to push it back in place while you get comfortable with the timing. By the end of the stack you’ll be more comfortable. The next time they’ll be perfect!
Also, turning down the heat to medium low and slow cooking pancakes can be helpful for beginners. Keep them warm in an oven on the lowest temp until you’re ready to serve.
i’d like my egg nog pancakes with a side of egg nog!
I love making good things out of eggnog and this sounds like a great new addition to try, thank you!
P.S. I’ve just nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award in my next post. I hope you don’t already have it, but I really enjoy your blog and wanted to share it with others. Congratulations and I hope you have a great holiday break and a very Happy New Year!
What a great way to start out the magic on those holiday mornings. Yum Yum!!!
I haven’t made pancakes in foreverrrr, but that heaping stack of hot, fluffy, spiced n’ sweet goodness makes me wanna bust out the skillet this weekend! :D
I’m not an eggnog fan, but my daughter and husband would be in heaven!
Heavenly.

Mmmm! Now I want pancakes! :-)
Pancakes look super yummy! :) You take great pictures!
Hmmm, these babies may be the perfect thing to serve up on Christmas Eve morning. We back up Ooey Gooey Cinnamon Buns Christmas Morning, but these pancakes make me want to add another holiday breakfast tradition!
Have a happy holiday!

My name is the TeenyLittleSuperChef and I am an eggnog addict. Holy crap, these sound good! I don’t know why I’ve never thought to put eggnog in my pancakes before. I think my mind has just been officially blown! Must make these tomorrow morning. Thanks for the great recipe :)

I have a carton of SC eggnog stashed away in the freezer, and making these pancakes will be the perfect occasion to thaw it out. They look delicious!
