Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour, spooned and levelled
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, cooled to room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup eggnog, room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Oil or cooking spray for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare dry mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and sugar until evenly combined. This will ensure your pancakes have a uniform spice and leavening throughout.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the large egg until slightly frothy. Then add the melted butter, eggnog, rum extract, and vanilla extract, mixing gently until well incorporated.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay and will keep the pancakes tender.
  4. Heat the pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil or spray as needed. Serve immediately with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure the batter mixes well and cooks evenly.
  • Nutmeg can be adjusted based on your taste preference—start with less and add more if you like a stronger spice flavor.
  • For a boozy twist, add a splash of actual rum instead of rum extract while mixing wet ingredients, but be mindful of cooking with alcohol.
  • These pancakes are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven (around 200°F) for up to 15 minutes.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a little more eggnog to reach your desired consistency.
