Your family’s holiday breakfast will be very merry indeed – thanks to these delicious Eggnog Pancakes with Fresh Cranberry Syrup!
Light and fluffy pancakes get a delicious boost of flavor by swapping in eggnog in place of buttermilk in the batter, plus cinnamon and nutmeg add a wonderful, spicy warm flavor throughout. Then, a simple cranberry syrup flavored with orange and cinnamon gives a wonderful burst of sweet-tart freshness – as well as gorgeous, festive color.
These Eggnog Pancakes with Fresh Cranberry Syrup are a must-make dish for any special holiday breakfast. Our family loves them – and I think yours will too!
Another thing to love…the De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill with FlexPress System. We made an entire breakfast using this versatile kitchen appliance.
With the De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill with FlexPress System you can start the day by making our delicious Eggnog Pancakes or some crispy waffles – then make a perfectly-pressed Panini sandwich for lunch – and finally, grill a juicy steak for dinner! All that is possible with the De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill’s ‘FlexPress System’ – a set of interchangeable plates that allow you to cook in a variety of ways with just one appliance. (Oh – how we love multi-purpose appliances that take up less counter and cabinet space!)
My husband Jack and I were extremely impressed with the De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill. It is a well-constructed, heavy-duty home appliance that is easy to use, heats up fast, cooks evenly, and has easy-to-use dials for ultimate control.
The De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill was really designed with flexibility in mind. The extra wide 9”x15” cooking surface allows you to make multiple dishes for a large family or while entertaining a crowd. The embedded heating elements in each cooking plate ensure even cooking, and you can control the cooking temperature and time of each side of the grill individually with the Digital Control LED panel with timer.
The lid has a floating hinge that accommodates any height food you might be cooking without crushing it – or you can lock the lid at any height above your food – which is great for melting cheese or broiling food from the top.
You can mix and match the interchangeable plates – contact grill, Panini press, full grill, full griddle and half grill/half griddle or even waffle mode. The De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill with FlexPress System even has a Dedicated Recipe App – a digital cookbook with suggested settings and recipes, available in Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
The non-stick removable grill, griddle, and waffle plates are dishwasher safe so cleanup is easy. And the grill comes with an integrated drip tray that drains excess oil for healthier dishes as you cook. (The plates and tray are also dishwasher safe for super simple clean up!)
The De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill comes with a two grill plates, two griddle plates, two waffle plates, plus a spatula & measuring cup. This is a great appliance for any kitchen!
The De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill with FlexPress System earned a coveted place among the 2016 list of Oprah’s Favorite Things – and anyone on your holiday shopping list is sure to love it too!

Eggnog Pancakes with Fresh Cranberry Syrup
Eggnog Pancakes with Fresh Cranberry Syrup have sweet eggnog-infused pancakes topped with a luscious homemade cranberry sauce.
Ingredients
Cranberry syrup
3 cups fresh or frozen whole cranberries
Zest from half an orange
2 10-ounce bottles cranberry juice, not cocktail
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cinnamon stick
Pancakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 cups eggnog
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 eggs, separated
Instructions
- Make the syrup by placing all ingredients into a sauce pan and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and using a blender or emersion blender, puree until smooth. Keep on low heat until ready to serve. If making a day ahead, the mixture will congeal like cranberry sauce. Simply reheat and puree again. May need to dilute with a little more cranberry juice if too thick.
- For pancakes, in a large bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a small bowl, mix eggnog, vanilla and melted butter. Beat egg yolks into this mixture but separate the whites into a small bowl.
- With a hand mixer, beat egg whites to soft peaks.
- Mix the eggnog mixture into the flour mixture until smooth then gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- On our De’Longhi Livenza All-Day Grill, we set front and back plates to 300 degrees F. Once hot, we lightly sprayed the griddle with pan spray then cooked six pancakes at a time. We cooked the remaining batter in two more batches yielding 18 pancakes. On your stove or cooktop, use medium low to medium heat.
- Serve hot with the cranberry syrup.
