Method

Pancake Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Pineapple Topping Preparation

  1. 4

    Caramelize Pineapple

    In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add the pineapple rings and sprinkle with brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and golden brown.

Cooking Pancakes

  1. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

  2. 6

    Assemble Pancakes

    Place a caramelized pineapple ring on top of each pancake as they finish cooking.

Whipped Cream Preparation

  1. 7

    Make Whipped Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Stack the pancakes on a plate, top with the whipped cream, and serve immediately.
