Why You’ll Love This Eggnog Crêpe Recipe

These Eggnog Crêpes are like a holiday hug on a plate. They’re quick to make, festive, and taste like a spiced custard in pancake form. If you love eggnog, this is the perfect twist. The recipe uses common pantry ingredients with a touch of seasonal magic, and the result is elegant enough for entertaining but simple enough for a weekday morning.

What Kind of Eggnog Should I Use?

Any store-bought or homemade eggnog works well for this recipe. If you’re using a richer eggnog, like one with heavy cream or alcohol, you might want to dilute it slightly with milk to keep the batter from getting too thick. For a dairy-free version, a nut-based eggnog alternative can work just as beautifully.

Ingredients for the Eggnog Crêpes

The ingredients here are simple and easy to find, but each one plays an important role in making these crêpes as delicious and tender as possible.

Eggnog: This is the star of the show. It gives the batter its festive flavor and creamy texture.

All-purpose flour: Provides structure while still keeping the crêpes light.

Eggs: Help bind the batter and contribute to the rich texture.

Butter (melted): Adds flavor and helps prevent sticking.

Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the other flavors.

Vanilla extract: A touch of vanilla complements the eggnog beautifully.

Ground nutmeg: Optional, but adds a lovely spice that boosts the holiday vibes.

How To Make the Eggnog Crêpes

Step 1: Make the Batter

In a blender, combine the eggnog, eggs, melted butter, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg. Blend until smooth and no lumps remain. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. This helps the flour hydrate and creates more tender crêpes.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Use a nonstick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly butter the surface and allow it to get hot but not smoking.

Step 3: Cook the Crêpes

Pour a small amount of batter (about 1/4 cup) into the pan and quickly swirl to spread it thin. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side until golden. Stack the crêpes on a warm plate as you go.

Step 4: Serve

Fill your crêpes with whipped cream, spiced apples, or even a smear of Nutella. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for the finishing touch.

Serving and Storing Your Eggnog Crêpes

This recipe yields about 10 to 12 crêpes and can feed around 4 people generously. Serve them hot off the skillet for the best texture. If you have leftovers, stack them with parchment in between and wrap tightly. They keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days or can be frozen for a month.

To reheat, gently warm them in a skillet or microwave until just pliable.
