Ingredients
- Your favorite pancake batter
- 1 pineapple ring for each pancake, gently dried
- 1 cherry for each pancake, gently dried
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
- Prepare the Skillet: Begin by heating a small amount of butter in a skillet over medium heat. This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and give them a lovely golden color.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour your pancake batter into the skillet, creating a pancake of your desired size. Allow the pancake to cook for about a minute or two, until the sides begin to set up and bubbles form on the surface.
- Add the Fruit: Gently place a pineapple ring in the center of the cooking pancake. Fill the center of the pineapple ring with a cherry. This step not only adds a tropical flavor but also makes the pancakes look as good as they taste!
- Flip with Care: Once the first side is cooked and golden brown, carefully flip the pancake to cook the second side. Be gentle to avoid displacing the fruit. Continue cooking until the second side is also golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm, with a dusting of powdered sugar on top. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle them with maple syrup.
