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 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
How to Make Stacked Pancakes with Drizzled Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and maple syrup until smooth and creamy.
- Stack the pancakes on a serving plate, drizzle the creamy sauce generously over the top, and sprinkle with crushed nuts.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning; medium heat usually works best.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
Easy Variations
- Add blueberries or chocolate chips to the batter for a fruity or sweet twist.
- Substitute almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
- Use flavored syrups like caramel or chocolate instead of maple syrup for a different taste.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory complement.
- A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- A steaming cup of coffee or tea to complete the meal.
