Delicious Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pineapple rings (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
  • 1 cup cherries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Stir in milk and vanilla extract.

    Ensure there are no lumps for a smoother batter.
  2. Cook Pineapple

    Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add pineapple rings and cook until caramelized, about 2 minutes per side.

    Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor.
  3. Add Batter

    Pour batter over the caramelized pineapple rings in the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface.

    Don't overcrowd the skillet; work in batches if necessary.
  4. Flip the Pancake

    Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

    Use a large spatula for easier flipping.
  5. Serve

    Invert the pancake onto a plate, garnish with cherries if desired, and serve warm.

    Drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness.
