• whisk eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla in a large bowl. combine flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt in a separate large bowl. slowly add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, beating well to make a smooth batter. stir in butter and cooked wild rice.
• heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. for each pancake, pour 1/4 cup batter on griddle and cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. continue with remaining batter.
