Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups eggnog
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
- 1/4 cup dark rum (for glaze)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
- Pinch of nutmeg (for garnish)
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggnog, eggs, and melted butter until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; a few lumps are fine. Do not overmix.
- Heat your griddle or a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Keep warm while you make the rest.
- To make the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, dark rum, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add a tiny splash more rum if the glaze is too thick.
- Stack the warm pancakes on a serving plate. Drizzle generously with the rum glaze.
- Garnish with a light sprinkle of fresh nutmeg. Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic glaze, substitute the rum with an equal amount of milk or cream and add a drop of rum extract for flavor.
- For extra richness, you can add a teaspoon of brandy or bourbon to the pancake batter itself.
- Keep your griddle temperature consistent; medium heat prevents burning while ensuring the center cooks through.
