Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pineapple slices
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves to create a caramel-like mixture.

Step 3

Place the pineapple slices into the caramel mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil together until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 8

Pour about 1/3 cup of pancake batter into the skillet and immediately top with one caramelized pineapple slice in the center.

Step 9

Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, then flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Repeat with the remaining batter and pineapple slices, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 11

Serve the pancakes warm with additional butter, syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
