I made something today that kind of blew my mind. In fact, after it was done cooking, I stuck a spoon into the pot, took a lick and “mmmmmmmmm’d” so loud my 2 year old came running into the kitchen saying, “Is good, mama? Is good?” I continued to spoon the golden goodness into my mouth, ignoring her pleading eyes and simply answering her inquiry by nodding my head and saying “mmmmmmmm”.
This golden goodness that rendered me almost speechless is Eggnog flavored pancake or waffle syrup! Indulgent, right? Even though I’m not a huge eggnog fan, I do love eggnog flavor. I also really enjoy flavored pancakes, but often am disappointed when the flavor doesn’t come through loud and clear. My solution to my dilemma was to make a syrup so rich and tasty, you’d have no doubt what flavor it was.
I will say… this isn’t your everyday, head off to school, healthy morning pancake syrup. This is your indulgent, let’s celebrate the holidays, special treat kind of breakfast. And speaking of celebration…is Tuesday a good enough reason to celebrate? I think so. Let’s breakout the Eggnog Pancake Syrup! Enjoy!
(Don’t forget – I’m participating in a #KitchenAidHoliday Giveaway where combined we are giving away over $1600 worth of KitchenAid products. Head over to this blog post to enter!)
I played around with this recipe all morning trying to get exactly what I wanted when I remembered the very indulgent buttermilk syrup recipe from Chef Brad at Thermador. Reducing the quantity and substituting eggnog for the buttermilk created exactly what I was hoping for!
Recipe: Creamy Eggnog Syrup for Pancakes or Waffles (or ice cream!)
- 1 stick butter
- 3/4 cup commercially prepared eggnog (full-fat version)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- In a large pan (make sure it is large, this syrup will grow when you add the vanilla and soda), place the butter, eggnog, and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and soda (it will foam)
- Serve over hot pancakes or waffles. Enjoy!

Those pancakes look super fluffy! Eggnog syrup sounds delicious and is so festive. I still dream about that buttermilk syrup!
Melissa´s last [type] ..A Thanksgiving Recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole
Holy moly – this stuff sounds painfully good. We somehow can’t ever finish off a carton of eggnog, so I know what I’m doing next time I’m ready to pour it down the drain
OMG, that just went to the top of my list for indulgence foods. I plan to make waffles this weekend and this will be right beside them, you are a saint to share with us!
I’ve been dying over this all day. I made an eggnog cake last week and am absolutely KICKING MYSELF for not having waited so I could drench it in this syrup. True story.
When I saw your title I wondered if you had made a revision on buttermilk syrup. I’ve actually been making the same thing forEVER; it was a recipe from my ex-father-in-law…some things in the family were worth keeping.
I can see how eggnog in it’s place would be so good; maybe why I bought eggnog last night (beyond my favorite holiday cocktail).

Oh my !!! I just made the syrup this morning and it was so delicious!!! We are total egg nog freaks here, we love it. ( I did sub 1/2 tsp. rum extract for the vanilla; I thought it pumped up the egg nog flavor a little more.)
I made this Christmas Eve morning and it was SO GOOD! I couldn’t help but “mmmmmm” myself! I did it so much my 5-year old told me I was annoying her! Great recipe!
Holy yummmmm…this is insanely decadent and delicious!
One question…do you refrigerate it? I’m trying not to eat the whole thing with a spoon in one sitting.
