This is fairly quick to put together and tastes great. My kids loved it. I did lose mine while flipping it though. Luckily I had just cleaned the counter and it was easily moved back onto a plate with a spatula ;)

Really good and easy to make! I reduced butter to 4 tbsp in the caramel topping and to 2 tbsp in the pancake batter and glad I did. I may try to further reduce butter in the topping to 3 tbsp next time. I also reduced brown sugar to 5 tbsp but should have kept it at 6 tbsp. I think some vanilla extract in the batter or more cinnamon would do nicely. I added 1/8 tsp salt to the batter. Mine is done in a little less than 20 mins.
