2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used unbleached flour)
2 heaping teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
Pinch salt
1 1/3 cups Eggnog
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla bean paste (or 1/2 tsp pure vanilla)
Butter, for the griddle
Pure Maple Syrup

Steps:

Melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly. In a bowl, measure the flour and add the baking powder, sugar and salt. Whisk, or stir to combine. In another bowl,whisk the Eggnog, eggs and the slightly cooled butter; pour the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking as you do so. NOTE: I try not to overwork my pancake dough, so they turn out tender and fluffy. On medium-heat either a griddle or nonstick frying pan, and pour out about 1/4 cup of the batter. When you see bubbles erupting on the surface, turn the pancakes over and cook for a 2-3 of minutes, on the other side. NOTE: I always heat my plates in a warm oven, so that my pancakes are served nice and hot-- the better for added butter to melt and for pure maple syrup to ooze over the edges.
