# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, and water. Stir until the butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to gentle simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg until evenly blended.
03 -
In a separate bowl, whisk eggnog, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
04 -
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Batter should be thick with some lumps; avoid overmixing.
05 -
Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes to activate baking powder and improve fluffiness.
06 -
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
07 -
Stack pancakes on a plate. Drizzle warm vanilla syrup over top. Add a pat of butter and dust with extra nutmeg if desired.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
For fluffier pancakes, rest the batter before cooking. Prepare syrup first so it’s ready to serve warm.
02 -
Use real vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Lightly grease the pan to prevent burning.
