Ingredients
  

Pancakes

  • 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips (adjust for desired sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup caramel coffee creamer
  • 2 egg
  • 3 Tbsp. butter unsalted, melted

Syrup

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. butter extract

Toppings

  • whipped cream
  • sprinkles

Instructions
 

Pancakes

  • Optional: Heat your oven to 250°F, which will allow you to keep your pancakes warm while you cook all of them.
  • Whisk together flour, butterscotch chips, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together buttermilk, caramel creamer, eggs, and melted butter.
  • Add wet ingredients to bowl of dry ingredients and whisk them together until evenly blended. Be sure not to overmix!
  • Once batter is ready, set aside. Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet to medium heat. Lightly oil the griddle with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Use ¼ measuring cup to pour batter for each pancake onto griddle or skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes or until air bubbles start to form. Bottom of pancakes should be golden brown. After flipping pancakes, cook for about 2 more minutes or until golden brown.
  • Once pancakes are done, transfer to an oven-safe plate and place them in the warm oven. This will allow them to stay hot and fresh while you make the syrup.

Syrup

  • Combine buttermilk, butter, and sugar in a medium saucepan. Stir while cooking over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.
  • Let this come to a boil for about one minute and then remove from heat.
  • Stir in baking soda and butter extract. This will create a bubbly foam. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.

Serving

  • Stack your pancakes one at a time, drizzling the caramel or butterscotch sauce in between each one.
  • Pour butterbeer syrup on top and finish it off with some whipped cream and sprinkles. Accio magical breakfast!

Notes

  • Whole milk can be substituted for the buttermilk if desired, but the flavor will be duller. In the sauce, it helps to cut the overbearing sweetness.
  • Be aware that the butterscotch chips may make your pancakes darker in spots - this is normal!
