Holiday Eggnog Pancakes

For those of you who like pancakes, as my hubby and I do, I tried
something new for our breakfast this morning, and we really liked them!

I bought some fresh eggnog a few days ago, so I could make a pound cake,
that I'd seen the recipe for, but still had most of a quart left, minus
the 1 cup plus 2 tbsp., so thought I'd use them in pancakes and we are
happy with the results.

In small bowl, mix 1 tbsp. cooking oil, 1 large egg and 1-1/4 cup fresh
eggnog. (use less if like them thicker). Combine wet ingredients, using
a whip.

In 2nd medium sized bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, 2 tsp. sugar, 1
tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt and generous
dashes of nutmeg.

Add liquid all at once to dry ingredients and mix with whip just till
dry ingredients is no longer visible, but don't overbeat! Cook on hot
griddle until golden brown on both sides. We had them with butter and
syrup, but could use whatever you like on the top of them. It made 10
small to medium pancakes.

If wanted to make them "gourmet", could add a LITTLE rum for part of the
liquid to make "spiked pancakes", but I didn't want to get too carried
away! )

Next I want to try Eggnog French Toast. For 4 to 5 slices, will beat
together with a fork; 2 large eggs, some dashes of nutmeg and 4 tbsp.
eggnog and dip the stale bread into the mixture and fry in skillet,
where have melted a little butter.
