Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

How to Make Caramel Cream Pancake Stack
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter until well mixed.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the pancakes are cooking, whip the heavy cream in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Once the pancakes are ready, start stacking them in groups of three on a serving plate, spreading a layer of whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce between each pancake layer.
- Top the final pancake with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers.
- Dust the entire stack with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
- Don’t overmix the batter; lumps are fine.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Use a quality caramel sauce for the richest flavor.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips to the pancake batter for extra indulgence.
- Swap out the caramel sauce for fruit compote or chocolate sauce.
- Incorporate spices like cinnamon or vanilla extract into the batter for added flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices.
- A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
- A hot cup of coffee or brunch cocktail like a mimosa.
