Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce
• 1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as pecans or walnuts)
• Additional butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes 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. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
3. Preheat 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, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining pancakes.
6. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with crushed nuts before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the pancakes light and airy.
• Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
• If you like your pancakes extra fluffy, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking.

Easy Variations

• For a fruity twist, add fresh berries or sliced bananas to the batter before cooking.
• Substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate syrup for a different flavor profile.
• Try using different nuts like almonds or hazelnuts for a unique crunch.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• A dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
• Maple syrup for those who prefer a classic touch.
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory complement.
