Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Milk
- 1 unit Large egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 6 rings Pineapple rings (canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter for cooking
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease it with a small pat of butter.
Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar on the skillet where you'll place the pineapple ring. Lay one pineapple ring over the sugar.
Immediately spoon about 1/4 cup of pancake batter over the pineapple ring, spreading it slightly to cover the ring. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the batter and the edges begin to look set.
Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter and pineapple rings.
To make the syrup, combine the pineapple juice, coconut milk, and honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Remove the syrup from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Serve the pancakes warm, drizzle generously with the pineapple coconut syrup, and enjoy!
