No reviews

Fluffy pancakes topped with caramelized pineapple rings, maraschino cherries, and a dusting of powdered sugar for a tropical, retro-inspired breakfast treat.

  • Total Time: 10-15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 pancakes

Ingredients

Your favorite pancake batter (enough for desired number of pancakes)

Pineapple rings, one per pancake, gently dried

Maraschino cherries, one per pancake, gently dried

Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease.
  2. Pour pancake batter into rounds matching the size of the pineapple rings.
  3. Immediately place a dried pineapple ring onto each pancake.
  4. Cook until bubbles form and edges begin to set, then carefully flip to cook the other side with pineapple on top.
  5. Place a dried maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple ring while pancakes finish cooking.
  6. Remove pancakes from heat and plate.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Pat pineapple and cherries dry to prevent excess moisture and splattering.

For a caramelized touch, brush pineapple with melted butter and brown sugar before cooking.

Serve warm for best texture and flavor.

Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently before serving.
