Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, eggnog, milk, lemon zest, vanilla and the oil. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, whisking to make sure everything is combined and there are no lumps. Allow batter to rest for 5 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a medium, non-stick skillet or on a griddle pan over medium-low heat. When butter starts to bubble, drop pancake batter into the pan using a ¼ cup measure. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the underside is golden brown. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.

(Makes 10 pancakes)
