The ingredients needed to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
  1. Get 2 Fresh eggs - separate the whites and yolks so you have 2 whites and 2 yolks
  2. Take 240 ml Whole milk (1 cup)
  3. Get 120 ml Heavy cream (1/2 cup - sub milk for lighter version)
  4. Prepare 4 tbsp Sugar, more to taste
  5. Get 1/2 tsp Vanilla

One reason to age eggnog is that it gives the alcohol time to kill any bacteria that may be lurking in the raw eggs, but it also allows the flavors to mellow and blend into a perfectly balanced drink. These Eggnog Pancakes can be made on a stove-top or on a griddle. Personally, I prefer to make my pancakes in a pan but the drawback is time. It takes longer to make two or three pancakes at a time.

Steps to make Eggnog for Two (or Three):
  1. Separate the egg whites and yolks into two separate large bowls.
  2. With a whisk or mixer, beat the egg yolks until they start to lighten in color. Then, gradually add 3 Tbsp of sugar, mixing it in until it dissolves.
  3. Add the milk, cream, bourbon (and Cointreau if using) and nutmeg and stir to combine. I prefer mine less sweet so taste and add more sugar if you like. Set aside.
  4. In the other bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy and "soft peaks" form (that means the little peaks that form when beating start to form, but will still melt back into the mixture).
  5. Gradually add the 1 tablespoon of sugar and beat until stiff peaks form (= the egg white peaks will stand up on their own without melting back into the mix).
  6. Fold the egg whites into the rest of eggnog. Serve into cups and dust with cinnamon and more nutmeg to taste.

If you're making a double batch for a large family gathering, consider using a griddle because you can make more at a time. For the brandy eggnog, we used Korbel VS and it was a perfectly balanced drink. This eggnog had a nice sweetness in every sip, which paired admirably with the creamy egg base. It has a catchy, lively flavor with more depth than the others and a nice, warm brandy note that doesn't hide behind the eggnog, nor was it overly pronounced. Eggnog, the creamy classic cocktail, is an essential part of the holidays.
