Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 can pineapple rings, drained
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, mix buttermilk, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  • Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon onto the skillet, then place pineapple rings on top.
  • Pour pancake batter over each pineapple ring, spreading slightly to cover.
  • Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Transfer to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and place a cherry in the center of each pancake.

 

  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra caramelized effect, cook the pineapple rings for 1 minute before adding the batter.
  • Serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for added indulgence.

 

  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet.
