Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 2 cups vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)

How to Make Stacked Waffles with Caramel Sauce

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
5. Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.
6. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron) and close the lid. Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the waffle and place it on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the waffles as you go.
8. Once you have your stack, generously drizzle caramel sauce over the top.
9. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of the caramel drizzle.
10. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated to achieve that perfect crispiness.
• For extra fluffy waffles, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
• Experiment with different types of caramel sauce, such as salted caramel, for an added flavor twist.
• Serve immediately for the best texture, as waffles can become soggy if left to sit.

Easy Variations

• Swap vanilla ice cream for chocolate or caramel ice cream for a different flavor profile.
• Add fresh fruit, like sliced bananas or strawberries, for a fresh touch.
• Mix in chocolate chips or nuts into the batter for added texture.
• Drizzle with chocolate sauce alongside caramel for an extra indulgent treat.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory complement.
• Whipped cream for an extra layer of indulgence.
• A side of maple syrup for those who love a little extra sweetness.

Waffles are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
