Great idea. Eggnog flavored pancakes. I just might have to run buy some more eggnog!
Eggnog is a nice winter treat – not just Christmas. These would be perfect for New Years (all day!) 🙂 BTW I’m so with you on the need to post recipes earlier. I always say I will but I don’t. There’s always next year.
Aww! Bless you. No fretting. I think these are a perfect post for right where they are 🙂 I certainly know I have some left-over nog that needs pancaking!
Kita I had the same problem. We had no dessert on Christmas. And some of the dinner was lackluster as I was so tired and worn out. These pancakes look amazing. Hope you have a Happy New Year!
Yum! And I just love your pretty red plate!
Eggnog pancakes?!?! I think I’m in love. 🙂
Well, I, for one – am glad you didn’t tuck them into a folder – they look too delicious for words!
Ok seriously, I hope there is eggnog still at the grocery store because I think I am going to buy a bunch today. These pancakes have to be good!
These pancakes look perfectly light and fluffy! This year, my mother-in-law and I just bought some pies from a local bakery. The thought of making desserts on top of everything else was just too much!
This recipe is very very interesting, I never make pancakes with liquor, but I think it’s a great idea.
I for one am just thrilled to see these posted because, well, that half a container of egg nog in the fridge will now be put to use! Just in the nick of time too because tomorrow is recycle day and I surely would’ve put the container in.
Seriously – these look sensational and I might just have these for breakfast tomorrow. 🙂
I love anything eggnog. Love it. These pancakes therefore look to die for! Mmmm. I may turn into a pancake thief 😉
Story of my life! Instead I ended up cooking more for gatherings and for parties and for people I love, and not for my blog. I’m ok with it though! These are gorgeous and sound so seriously delicious! Every winter my friends and I travel to a cabin for a weekend getaway… these might have to make an appearance if I am assigned a breakfast cooking slot! YUM!
I know it isn’t christmas anymore but I would definetly love to give them a try
mmm I found these on Pinterest I will definitely have to try them, I made some eggnog french toast recently that was amazing!
