Ingredients
  

For the caramel peach topping:

2 ripe peaches, sliced

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

For the pancake batter:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Instructions
 

Prepare the caramel topping: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, stirring until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the sliced peaches and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Make the pancake batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

      Preheat the pan: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.

        Assemble the pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet. Immediately top with a spoonful of the caramel peach mixture, placing a peach slice or two on top.

          Cook the pancakes: Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

            Serve: Once cooked, serve the pancakes caramel-side up. You can drizzle any remaining caramel sauce over the top and garnish with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat. Enjoy warm!
