You Should Add Eggnog to Your Christmas Morning Pancakes

Eggnog is as Christmas as chunky, colorful lights–it’s not for everyone, but some households are all about it. Whether you have a yearly event concocting your family’s secret recipe, or buy liters of the store bought variety, try adding it to your pancake mix and make the most Christmassy breakfast of your life.

Eggnog is a creamy, spicy holiday drink, and undoubtedly fabulous on its own hot or cold, but it also works well as a dynamite flavoring in countless recipes. It’s basically your milk ingredient living its best life. There’s already a combination of warming spices, egg yolks, cream, and, heck, even booze, already mixed in. For various, inexplicable reasons, should you have leftover eggnog you can’t get rid of (maybe a friend gifted you too much, or you’re not in the mood to drink it and you’d rather eat it), make eggnog pancakes. Simply substitute equal parts eggnog for the liquid ingredient in your favorite pancake recipe, and proceed as usual. You’ll be rewarded with the same fluffy pancakes you love along with untamed Christmas flavors in every bite. Even though there’s already spice in the mix, those of us on the Naughty List add a tad more cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter.

Surprisingly, you won’t get much of the alcohol’s flavor in the finished pancake. I expected to taste quite a bit, considering I wasn’t shy with my pour and they don’t cook long, but it was completely unnoticeable. I wasn’t mad about it; the eggnog added plenty of delicious flavor and sweetness regardless. However, if you want to taste more of your holiday spirits, try making an alcoholic syrup or icing glaze to drizzle over your eggnog hot cakes.

These pancakes make for an excellent breakfast on Christmas morning, for a New Year’s Day brunch, or as a general winter-time snack. Explore the versatility of eggnog, and try substituting it in other morning staples like French toast or bread pudding.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

6 of the Best Drinking Games to Play During Super Bowl LVII

Image
Photo : Pixel-Shot ( Shutterstock ) This game is nearly identical to the “drink every time” game above, but adjusted for shots, so it’s for those trying to party a little harder. The idea is to make a list of shot-worthy occurrences—like “a coach yells at a referee” or “something goes wrong during the halftime show”—and then take a shot whenever they happen. If the promise of regular shots isn’t enough for you, we have another twist for you: The “1, 2, 3" rule. The first time something from your shot list happens, you take one shot. The second time it occurs, take two. The third, three...and then hopefully you don’t push your health and safety past that point. On the other hand, you can always choose to sip instead of taking a full shot. Again, none of these party games have to involve alcohol. But they definitely can if you want them to. Super Bowl LVII is on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. E T /3:30 p.m. P T. https://www.tausiinsider.com/6-of-...
