- 1 cup buttermilk

How to Make Caramel Cream Pancake Stack
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
- 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. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the cream filling by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Once the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate, spreading a layer of the cream filling between each pancake. Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the stack.
- Serve warm, with extra caramel sauce on the side for drizzling.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Avoid overmixing the pancake batter to keep them fluffy.
- Adjust the heat as needed; if pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the temperature.
- Allow pancakes to rest for a minute before flipping for best results.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or blueberries to the batter for extra flavor.
- Substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce or berry compote.
- Incorporate spices like cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter for a warm flavor twist.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit, such as berries or banana slices
- Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch
- A side of crispy bacon for a sweet and savory combination
- Hot coffee or tea to complement the sweetness
