Description
Caramel Peach Upside-Down Pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat featuring a sweet caramelized peach topping over fluffy pancakes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
- Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully add the sliced peaches to the skillet, stirring gently to coat them in the caramel mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the peaches are softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure there are no lumps.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring 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 a bit of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour a ladleful of pancake batter into the skillet, forming a round pancake. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
- Carefully spoon a portion of the caramel peach mixture on top of the batter, allowing it to sink slightly into the pancake.
- Once the edges start to look firm and the bottom is golden brown, carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter and topping.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate, and drizzle any remaining caramel sauce from the skillet over the top. Optionally, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure not to overmix the batter for fluffy pancakes.
- Feel free to substitute peaches with other fruits, such as pineapples or apples.
- For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of regular melted butter.
