Made this caramel sauce to go with the pancakes and it was superb! I've made quite a bit of caramel sauce lately (multiple methods) and this is, hands down, the easiest way to make a good, flavorful sauce. I plan on making this sauce again for use not only with the pancakes but also over ice cream, you name it...anything that needs caramel sauce!
