What better way to kick off Christmas than with these festive, Santa-approved pancakes. Just like regular egg nog, these pancakes are rich, big on flavor, and almost bread-pudding-like in texture. Enjoy them with friends and family, Santa and nicely chilled mimosa.
Egg Nog Pancakes
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 whole egg
- 1 ½ cup of half and half
- 1 ½ cup of flour
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder (I used 6 because I like them puffy)
- Pinch of sea salt
Bourbon-Maple Syrup
- ½ cup of real maple syrup
- ½ shot of bourbon (more depending on your relatives)

1. Add the three egg yolks and a whole egg to a small mixing bowl and beat them until they whiten and become somewhat stiff.
2. Add the half and half, sugar, vanilla and nutmeg and mix well.
3. In a large mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Add the wet ingredients to dry, mixing well.

5. Heat the skillet until a drop of water dances on the surface, the coat with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
6. Ladle some batter onto the pan and flip with spatula when bubbles start to form and they get dry around the edge.
