Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, plus extra for cooking
- 1 ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings
- Honey, to drizzle (optional)
- Butter, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and melted butter or coconut oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
Caramelize Pineapple Slices: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little butter or coconut oil. Add the pineapple slices in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Cook the Pancakes: Preheat another skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or coconut oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them evenly. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Assemble the Dish: Place a few caramelized pineapple slices atop each pancake. Drizzle with honey if desired, and serve immediately with extra butter.
