In the spirit of St. Patty’s Day, let's infuse a bit of Irish spirit into our breakfast routine with a delightful recipe tailored for adults. Introducing "Irish Coffee Pancakes with Whiskey Caramel Sauce" – a decadent twist on the classic pancake stack that's perfect for starting your day with a touch of indulgence.

 

Ingredients:

- Pancake mix (or your favorite pancake recipe ingredients)

- 1 cup strong brewed coffee

- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey

- 1 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 cup heavy cream

- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

 

Instructions:

1. Prepare Pancake Batter:

   Follow the instructions on your pancake mix box or prepare your favorite pancake batter from scratch. Set aside while you prepare the whiskey caramel sauce.

 

2. Brew Irish Coffee:

   Brew a cup of strong coffee and stir in the Irish whiskey. Set aside.

 

3. Make Whiskey Caramel Sauce:

   In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar with a splash of water. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then let it cook without stirring until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes.

 

4. Add Cream and Whiskey:

   Carefully pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up. Once combined, remove from heat and stir in the Irish whiskey. Set aside to cool slightly.

 

5. Cook Pancakes:

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on both sides.

 

6. Assemble Pancakes:

   Stack your pancakes on a plate, layering them with a drizzle of whiskey caramel sauce between each pancake.

 

7. Drizzle with More Sauce:

   Generously drizzle the remaining whiskey caramel sauce over the top of the pancake stack, allowing it to cascade down the sides.

 

8. Serve with Whipped Cream:

   If desired, top your Irish Coffee Pancakes with a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or dust with cocoa powder for an extra touch of decadence.

 

9. Enjoy Responsibly:

   Serve your Irish Coffee Pancakes alongside a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee or an Irish coffee for the ultimate breakfast indulgence. Savor each rich and flavorful bite, and start your day on a delightfully indulgent note.
