Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt. This ensures that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed in the batter.
2
Add the eggs and gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Use a whisk or an immersion blender if needed.
3
Stir in a tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking during cooking. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the caramel sauce: in a saucepan, melt the brown sugar over medium heat until it turns a deep golden color.
5
Add the butter, and while stirring constantly, pour in the heavy cream. Continue stirring until the caramel is completely dissolved and has a smooth, silky texture.
6
Heat a pancake griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot surface, spreading it out in a circular motion.
7
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 30-40 seconds.
8
Repeat the process until all the batter is used up. Keep the pancakes warm under a clean kitchen towel.
9
To serve, drizzle the pancakes generously with the caramel sauce, and sprinkle with a little vanilla sugar or chopped nuts, if desired.
