  • Fluffy pancakes that melt in your mouth.
  • Rich caramel sauce that adds a touch of decadence.
  • Light and airy whipped cream for the perfect topping.
  • Easy to make and customize for any occasion.
  • Perfect for impressing family and friends.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Extra powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Caramel Cream Pancake Stack

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
  5. Pour 1/4 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 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
  8. To assemble, place one pancake on a serving plate, spread a layer of whipped cream on top, and drizzle with caramel sauce. Repeat the layering process with additional pancakes.
  9. Finish with a final drizzle of caramel sauce on top and dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  • Maintain a consistent medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes.
  • For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the pancake batter.

Easy Variations

  • Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the pancake batter for extra flavor.
  • Substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce for a different twist.
  • Use flavored whipped cream, like vanilla or cinnamon, to enhance the taste.
  • Swap out some of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh fruit, like strawberries or bananas, for a refreshing contrast.
  • A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
  • A hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
  • Maple syrup for those who love an extra drizzle of sweetness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds or warm them on a skillet over low heat until heated through. The whipped cream is best enjoyed fresh, so consider making it just before serving.
