Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1¼ cups Silk Nog (eggnog)
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Whisk together to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the Silk Nog, ricotta cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should remain a bit lumpy. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Spray a griddle or large skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat until hot. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Using a ½ cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot pan. Cook the pancakes for 1½ to 2 minutes or until the edges start to bubble. Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 1 minute until it turns golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve immediately. Top with butter, syrup, and whipped cream for a delicious finishing touch.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay and help keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use a medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes while cooking through.
- Substitute Silk Nog with regular eggnog or milk if preferred, but the Silk Nog adds a nice subtle flavor.
- Ricotta cheese adds moisture and tenderness; do not skip or replace with a low-moisture cheese.
- For extra festive flair, sprinkle additional nutmeg or cinnamon on top when serving.
