Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 3/4 cup of sugar
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tsp of orange zest
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups light egg nog
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup canola

Instruction

  • Put all the syrup ingredients into a sauce an and mix well.
  • Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer 5-10 minutes until the cranberries pop.  Stir while simmering.
  • Remove from heat, set syrup aside to cool slightly and prepare pancakes.
  • For pancakes, mix dry ingredients together in medium bowl.
  • Add all wet ingredients (eggs, egg nog, and oil)  to a separate bowl and stir just until blended.
  • Add the wet ingredient to the dry ingredients just until combined.   Do not over mix, batter will be slightly lumpy.
  • Lightly coat skillet with oil.  Heat to medium low (I do one notch below medium or you pancakes will burn).
  • Drop 1/4 cup of batter onto heated skillet.  Use the back side of a spoon to help even out the batter.
  • Cook on first side until bubbles begin to form on surface and underside is golden, about 2 minutes.
  • Flip over and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown and center springs back when lightly touched.
  • Serve warm with  butter and cranberry orange syrup. Makes 10-12 pancakes.
