Receta Eggnog Pancakes with Cranberry Maple Syrup
Do you know that I’ve never been a fan of eggnog? Hard to
believe when you see me posting not one, but two eggnog recipes in one week and
(hold on to your hat), a third one is in the works. It seems that something
happened when I added eggnog to my cinnamon roll recipe. I guess the flavor is
just a little more subtle, but I really, really liked it. So much so, that I
couldn’t wait to try it in my pancakes. That’s right. Pancakes. I had the crazy
idea of just subbing out the buttermilk in my favorite pancakes. And it was a good
decision. Yes, it was. Of course, just like with the Eggnog and Cranberry Cinnamon Rolls, I wasn’t the first one to think of this combination. About 5
minutes after I licked the last morsel off of my plate, one of my Facebook
foodie friends was posting her version of eggnog pancakes. At least my
cranberry syrup is different. But then, who knows? I didn’t google it. J
Eggnog Pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 cups eggnog
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for griddle
Directions
Heat griddle on medium high. Whisk together flour, baking
powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Add eggs, eggnog, and 4
tablespoons butter; whisk to combine. Batter should have small to medium lumps.
It's really important not to over-mix. Those lumps should be there.
Brush a little melted butter on the griddle. Pour the
pancake batter by ¼ cups onto the griddle, keeping the pools of batter 2 inches
apart. When pancakes have bubbles on top and are slightly dry around
edges, about 2 1/2 minutes, flip over. Cook until golden on bottom, about 1
minute.
They need just a little something....
Cranberry-Maple Syrup
2 cups fresh cranberries
1 cup real maple syrup
1 cinnamon stick
Place all of the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium
heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until
the berries are softened and the syrup is reduced. Add additional syrup if too
thick. Serve warm.
I ended up adding more syrup to this...it was good, but a little thick.
Can we say "Plate Lickable" ?
