Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups milk, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then whisk in the milk and vanilla.

Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Whisk the butter into the milk mixture. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and whisk until a thick batter is just formed.

Keeping the skillet at medium heat, ladle about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, to make a pancake. Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to keep them evenly spaced apart. Cook, until bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, and the undersides are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook about 1 minute more on the second side. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Procedure for adding fruit to pancakes: Once the bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, scatter the surface with sliced or diced fruit, or chocolate chips, nuts, etc. Flip with a spatula and cook for 1 minute more, being careful not to burn toppings.

yummy eggnog pancakes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband is not a fan of eggnog, and I am. He says these pancakes taste like they were made with eggnog, which I can... understand. I thought they were good and in the holiday spirit, but if you don't like nutmeg or vanilla, the flavor of these can be overwhelming. I thought the 3 tablespoons of sugar was a little excessive, especially with the other flavorings. Good, though, or I thought so.Read more

Much better than you'd expect
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We tried other so-called "star chef" recipes and they honestly all stunk. This recipe was simple. Perhaps that is the key to... good pancakes.Read more

Very Good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband and I had these this morning, and they were excellent! I added a little more nutmeg and vanilla and some... cinnamon. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The flavor was really good. I'll definitely make this recipe again.Read more
