Whether it's for a lazy weekend breakfast or a special treat any time of the day, a caramel pancake recipe is sure to delight your taste buds and bring warmth to your soul.


Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Caramel Sauce:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
A pinch of salt

Instructions:

Making the Pancakes:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.


Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.


Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Repeat until all the batter is used, keeping the cooked pancakes warm while you prepare the caramel sauce.

Creating the Caramel Sauce:
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

Allow the mixture to boil without stirring. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization.


Cook until the mixture turns a rich amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Be watchful, as caramel can quickly go from amber to burnt.

Remove the pan from heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream while whisking continuously.

Add the butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Let the caramel sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serving:

Stack the warm pancakes on a plate and generously drizzle the luscious caramel sauce over the top. For an extra touch of indulgence, you can add a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of sea salt, or a handful of toasted nuts.

Tips:
To prevent the caramel from crystallizing, avoid stirring once the sugar has dissolved. Instead, swirl the pan gently if needed.


Use caution when working with hot caramel to avoid burns.

Leftover caramel sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

The combination of fluffy pancakes and rich caramel sauce creates a symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds. Each bite is a delightful harmony of sweetness and warmth, making this caramel pancake recipe an irresistible treat for any occasion. Whether you savor it alone or share it with loved ones, this culinary masterpiece is bound to become a cherished favorite.
