Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
• 1 cup whipped cream
• 1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)

How to Make Caramel Drizzle Pancake Stack

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until well blended.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a little butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
7. To assemble, stack three pancakes on a plate. Drizzle with caramel sauce, then add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
8. Sprinkle with crushed nuts and drizzle with more caramel sauce before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the pancakes light and airy.
• Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
• For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.

Easy Variations

• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Add chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet twist.
• Top with fresh fruit like sliced bananas or strawberries for a burst of freshness.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce in addition to caramel for a double treat.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory touch
• A side of yogurt for a creamy addition
• A warm cup of coffee or your favorite breakfast smoothie
