Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/4 cup chocolate shavings (or chocolate chips)
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Fluffy Pancake Stacks with Caramel Drizzle

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; some lumps are okay.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. Stack the pancakes high, drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with chocolate shavings before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal fluffiness.
• Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking to increase fluffiness.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning; too high can lead to uneven cooking.
• For extra indulgence, warm the caramel sauce slightly before drizzling.

Easy Variations

• Add blueberries or sliced bananas to the batter for a fruity twist.
• Substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour for a healthier option.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like vanilla or almond, for additional depth.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory balance.
• Maple syrup for those who prefer a classic taste alongside the caramel.
