Common Questions About Eggnog Pancakes
How Can I Make My Eggnog Pancakes Fluffier?
To achieve that perfect fluffy texture, similar to a light and airy French toast, remember not to overmix your eggnog pancake batter. It’s perfectly fine to have a few small lumps remaining.
This will ensure your pancakes are soft and fluffy, just like your favorite brand of holiday pancakes. The key is to mix just enough to combine the ingredients without developing the gluten in the flour mixture too much.
Can I Make These Pancakes Dairy-Free?
Absolutely! For a dairy-free version of these delicious eggnog pancakes, you can substitute regular eggnog with a dairy-free alternative such as Silk Nog or almond milk.
This modification caters to all eggnog lovers, ensuring everyone can enjoy these pancakes on Christmas Eve or any festive morning.
Just ensure that your dairy-free alternative is well-suited for baking to maintain the delightful flavors of the recipe.
Is It Okay to Add Extra Nutmeg?
Certainly! Feel free to add an extra pinch of ground nutmeg to your eggnog pancake batter. This will enhance the sweet side of these holiday pancakes, bringing them closer to the taste of your own homemade eggnog.
A little bit of extra nutmeg will enrich the eggnog flavors, making your breakfast feel like a special occasion, perfect for gathering the whole family around the table on a cozy Christmas Eve.
Remember, the best eggnog pancake recipe allows for personalization, so adjust the spices to suit your taste!

Hey, sorry about doing this here, but didn’t know how else to contact you. I’ve suddenly started getting MULTIPLE posts from you (from as far back as August) all in batches today. I mean like 10-12-15 of them at a time. Don’t know if it’s something from your end, or something screwy on mine, but thought I’d let you know so you could check into it. Don’t know that I’m the only one too.
