Start your day with a sweet and savory twist by making salted caramel swirl pancakes. These pancakes are perfect for a special breakfast or brunch and will impress everyone at the table. Follow this simple recipe to create fluffy pancakes with a luscious caramel swirl and a hint of salt.
Ingredients Needed
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup salted caramel sauce
- Pinch of sea salt for topping
Preparation Steps
Gather all your ingredients before starting. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. As the pancakes cook, spoon a small amount of salted caramel sauce onto the center of each pancake, then gently swirl it into the batter with a toothpick or skewer.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Serving Suggestions
Stack the pancakes on a plate and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for an extra flavor boost. Drizzle additional salted caramel sauce on top and add fresh berries or whipped cream if desired. These pancakes are best enjoyed warm, with a hot cup of coffee or tea.
Enjoy your delicious salted caramel swirl pancakes as a decadent breakfast treat or a special weekend brunch. They combine the perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and fluffy texture that will make your morning memorable.
