Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups pancake mix
  • 1 ¼ cups eggnog
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • Powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent the pancake batter from sticking during baking.
  2. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, eggnog, large egg, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. Stir until everything is well incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  3. Pour Batter into Dish: Pour the prepared pancake batter evenly into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even bake.
  4. Bake the Pancake Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bake is fully set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Serve: Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm for a delightful holiday breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can prepare this dish the night before and refrigerate the batter in the baking dish, then bake it fresh in the morning.
  • For an extra festive touch, add a handful of raisins or chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
  • Use homemade eggnog or store-bought based on preference.
  • Ensure the pancake mix you use is suitable for your dietary needs (gluten-free if necessary).
