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 cup granulated sugar (for caramel sauce)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for caramel sauce)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for caramel sauce)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts, for topping)

How to Make Stacked Waffles with Caramel Sauce

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk and melted butter until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown, usually about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.
7. Carefully add the heavy cream and butter to the melted sugar (it will bubble up). Stir until smooth, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
8. Once the waffles are done, stack them on a plate. Drizzle generously with the homemade caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your waffle iron is preheated for crispy exteriors.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the waffles light and fluffy.
• For a thicker caramel, allow it to simmer longer until it reaches your desired consistency.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips to the waffle batter for a sweet twist.
• Use different nuts or top with fresh fruit like bananas or berries.
• Substitute maple syrup for caramel sauce for a classic flavor.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing contrast
• Whipped cream for added indulgence
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory touch
• Hot coffee or tea to complement the sweetness
