Egg Nog Pancakes


A Snowy White Christmas


  • Well, we're in Montana
    And much like the rest of the Northern states
    We are COVERED in snow!
    It's gorgeous
    and now I can much appreciate it, 
    as we are finally here!

    We drove this year
    from Los Angeles
    and only 2 hours north of L.A.
    we began to hit snow!!
    Here are cactus in their winterwonderland:

    And since we're here in our warm home
    watching it snow ALL DAY
    (literally! It's not supposed to stop ALL DAY!)
    I thought I'd try Inga and Kelley's Choco-Mint Cookies.

    They are a hit!
    Everyone is thoroughly enjoying!
    Thanks for the recipe, Kelley!

    When we stopped in Utah to have breakfast with friends
    on our way home, I received a precious lil' gift
    from William Sonoma! Looky Looky!

    It was a Rudolph, Santa and Frosty pancake mold pack!
    They're so cute!
    And we made EGG NOG pancakes...
    Quite yum!

    We got the recipe from a coffee table book:
    Southern Living: Christmas Cookbook

    Eggnog Pancakes
    Prep: 15 min     Cook: 10 min.

    1 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
    1/4 c. sugar
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
    1/8 tsp. ground cloves
    1 1/2 c. refridgerated eggnog
    1 large egg, beaten
    1 Tbsp. veg. oil

    Combine first 6 ingredients in a large bowl.
    Combine eggnog, eggs, and oil in another bowl;
    add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.

    Pour about 1/3 c. batter for each pancake.
    Cook pancakes like you do any other pancakes!

    Anyway...
    They really were good! We each only ate one- as I used about 2/3 c.
    to make them big enough to fill the Christmas molds.
    With a touch of maple syrup they were fantastic!

    Alrighty...
    Well I'm off to eat a cookie
    and see if I can help with prep for the coming festivities.
