Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes

Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite, featuring caramelized pineapple rings that create a sweet and tangy flavor profile. Perfect for brunch, these pancakes are light, fluffy, and topped with a luscious drizzle of maple syrup.

Ingredients

• all-purpose flour - 130 grams
• baking powder - 10 grams
• sugar - 30 grams
• salt - 1 gram
• milk - 200 milliliters
• egg - 1 large
• vanilla extract - 5 milliliters
• butter - 30 grams (melted) + extra for cooking
• pineapple slices - 4 rings (fresh or canned)
• brown sugar - 20 grams

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then mix well.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter may be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the pan.
5. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly in the skillet, then place the pineapple rings on top of the sugar.
6. Pour a ladleful of pancake batter over each pineapple ring, ensuring it covers the ring completely.
7. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges appear set.
8. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and pineapple rings, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
10. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional pineapple if desired.
