Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, beaten egg, melted unsalted 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; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Serve the pancakes hot, generously drizzled with salted caramel sauce and sprinkled with sea salt flakes for that perfect salty-sweet combination.
- For an extra decadent touch, consider adding sliced bananas or berries on top before serving.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, try using buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- You can make the salted caramel sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Just warm it up slightly before serving.
- These pancakes also pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
