12 Days of Holiday Eats, Day 12: Eggnog Pancakes
I have a number of friends who believe the holidays just aren't complete without eggnog. I'm not the biggest fan, but I'm happy to incorporate it into things I'd be cooking anyway, like the pancakes or waffles you'll usually find in my kitchen on Sunday mornings. Top these with butter and cinnamon and I guarantee you'll have a happy holiday breakfast! This recipe comes from allrecipes.com.
Ingredients
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup eggnog
2 tablespoons clarified butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
Directions
1. Heat a lightly oiled skillet or griddle over medium heat.
2. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the eggnog, butter, and egg. Mix until dry ingredients are evenly moist.
3. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook pancakes until bubbly on top. Flip with a spatula, and continue cooking until lightly browned on bottom.

1) is that any eggnog - homemade or storebought? with or w/o alcohol?
2) can you use this as a waffle batter, or how would you modify it?
TIA for your reply...love this blog

Since pancake and waffle batter are so similar, I use this for both. Perhaps add a little extra butter or cooking spray to your waffle iron so they don't stick. Storebought vs. homemade 'nog hasn't made a difference for me, since they tend to have a similar milk content and the booze seems to evaporate when cooked.
