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.

Would you please post that pound cake recipe? I need an excuse to buy
some eggnog.

Happy to oblige! <) Guess it's not actually called a "pound cake", but
that's what I called it. The family really liked it, when they came over
on Sunday.

Eggnog Tube Cake

1 pkg. white cake mix (not with pudding)
1 small pkg. (4 serving size) vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
1 cup eggnog
1/4 cup Canola oil
1-1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tsp. rum flavoring

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. rum flavoring
4 tsp. eggnog (or more to make glaze consistency)

Put all cake ingredients into large bowl for electric mixer. Beat on
med. speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into well greased/floured 10 inch
tube pan. Bake at 350º for 40 minutes, or until toothpick inserted
near the center, comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and invert onto
serving plate to cool completely.
Beat all glaze ingredients together well in small bowl. Drizzle over
cooled cake.

Thanks, Judy! Recipe saved; it's a good one for the holidays.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it. I am thinking next time I make it, I
will sprinkle the top with nutmeg, after I put the glaze on, but then I
love nutmeg, and think it would look attractive on it for a garnish too.

Whenever I think of eggnog, I always remember the pie my mother would
make at holiday time...it was to die for, and I thought about making
that instead, to use up the eggnog, but then hubby and I don't need all
the calories. I only make "goodies" like that when I know some of the
family, or friends will be around to help us eat it.

Heh. I'll substitute some allspice.

I understand! I wanted to make the cake so I'd have some leftover
eggnog to put out of its misery.

My wife used to make an eggnog pie with a recipe from Gourmet magazine
back in the 70s. The crust is made of ground pecans, butter and sugar.
The filling is made with eggs, cream, gelatin (softened in vermouth),
and rum. Then there were chocolate curls on top.

No you don't need an excuse! I love egg nog, and I like having a
carton of it in the fridge just to hit off of occasionally. Mmmmmm!

It's too rich just for me to drink as it is, but I like mixing it with
some 2% fresh milk, or in a eggnog mixture, that has some rum added to
it, the way my dad use to make them on Christmas Eve for a special
treat. It's been years since I've had one of those.

It is time to make the 6 week eggnog.
This isn't exactly the recipe I used last year- but it is the first
one that google turned up.

I made 2 gallons- [2 different recipes] and have about a quart of each
batch still in the refrigerator. They both taste like a very fine
brandy Alexander at this point. My wife likes hers served in a
whipped cream and egg mixture. I like it straight up.

I LOVE eggnog and that added to pancakes does sound awfully good.
