Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Eggnog
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Fresh or frozen cranberries
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice
• 1 teaspoons Orange zest
• 1 as needed Butter for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In another bowl, mix the eggnog, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 7

To make the cranberry sauce, combine cranberries, sugar, water, orange juice, and orange zest in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries burst and the sauce thickens.

Step 9

Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 10

Serve the warm pancakes with a generous drizzle of cranberry sauce on top. Enjoy your festive breakfast!
