Pineapple Upside Down Pancakes Easy Breakfast Idea Recipes

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN PANCAKES

Steps:

• Pat the pineapple rings dry with a paper towel, then transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
• Heat a large nonstick pan or cast-iron griddle over medium-low heat. Add the butter.
• While the butter is melting, sprinkle one side of the pineapple rings with the brown sugar. Place the pineapple rings sugared-side down in to the pan, leaving enough space around them to allow for the pancake batter to be poured over top. Cook until the sugar caramelizes and the pineapples turn light brown, about 5 minutes.
• Place a maraschino cherry into the center of each pineapple ring. Carefully pour about 1/2 cup of pancake batter over each pineapple ring to make 4 pancakes. Cook until the batter starts to bubble and take on a dull look, about 3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN PANCAKES WITH VANILLA CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat cream, sugar, and vanilla for sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a small pitcher for serving. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Mix butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar together until well combined; set cinnamon butter aside.
• Stir pancake mix, milk, and eggs together until blended. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the surface, then working in batches as needed, ladle 1/2 cupfuls of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon chopped pineapple on top of each one. Cook until the edges appear dry and the surface of the batter is no longer glossy, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch or two of sugar onto each pineapple and flip. Cook until pancake is cooked through and pineapple is caramelized, another 2 to 4 minutes. Place pancakes on a plate in a warm oven and repeat the process to cook remaining pancakes.
• Serve pancakes with a dollop of cinnamon butter and vanilla creme sauce over top.
