EMERIL'S WARM PEACH PANCAKES WITH VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM AND A DRIZZLE OF WARM CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• For the pancakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven.

Add the batter to the skillet and return to the oven and bake until pancake puffs up around the edges, 20 minutes.
• For the peaches: To a hot skillet, add butter and melt. Add peaches and saute for 3 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg and cook another 2 minutes.
• To Finish: Remove pancake from the oven. Slide pancake onto a large plate. Top pancake with peaches. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and powdered sugar and mint.
• In a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is a deep caramel color and has the consistency of a thin syrup, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream, return the saucepan to the high heat, and boil the sauce until it regains the consistency of a thick syrup, about 2 minutes. Cool.
