Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• Extra butter for cooking pancakes

How to Make Layered Cream Pancake Stack

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small pat of butter. Once melted, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
4. While the pancakes are cooling, whip the heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
5. To assemble, place one pancake on a serving plate, spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, and repeat with additional pancakes, layering cream in between each one. Finish with a final pancake on top.
6. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the stack and let it cascade down the sides. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is at the right temperature; too hot can burn the pancakes, while too cool can make them soggy.
• For an extra touch, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream to help it whip up quickly and hold its shape.
• Experiment with different flavored extracts in the whipped cream, such as almond or maple, for a unique twist.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the caramel sauce for chocolate sauce or fruit compote for a different flavor profile.
• Add fresh fruits like strawberries or bananas between the layers for added freshness and flavor.
• Incorporate spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg into the pancake batter for warmth.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries or sliced fruits for a refreshing contrast.
• A dollop of yogurt or crème fraîche for added creaminess.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a sweet and savory combination.

Storage and Reheating

• Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place them in a toaster or microwave until warm. For the whipped cream, it’s best made fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for a day.
