Instructions

MAKE THE PANCAKES:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
Then in a separate bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla with eggnog.
Pour the wet into the dry and use a spatula to mix until just combined. Add the melted butter and any extra eggnog as needed to thin the batter.
Try not to over mix, some small lumps are fine.
Preheat a griddle to about 300° (or as directed in the instruction manual) and lightly spray with nonstick ghee or coconut spray.
Measure out 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until the underneath is golden and the top looks set around the edges.
Transfer cooked pancakes to a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in a low oven. Repeat with remaining batter.

MAKE THE EGGNOG SYRUP:

In a bowl combine syrup and eggnog. Whisk to combine.
Serve pancakes with butter (if desired) and pour the eggnog syrup over top. For an added festive touch, top with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle of nutmeg.
