Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s start by preparing all the ingredients for our delicious pineapple pancakes. Using canned pineapple slices will make this recipe even easier and ensure a consistently tasty outcome. If you’re using fresh pineapple, peel it and slice it into appropriate thicknesses.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the pancake mix (150g) and milk (200ml). Whisk gently until smooth and well combined, forming your batter. (Tip: For an even softer pancake, you can substitute two eggs and use about 100ml of milk. If you don’t have eggs, using only milk is perfectly fine and results in a wonderfully chewy pancake.)
Step 3
The ideal batter consistency is slightly thick. When you scoop it with a ladle, it should fall in a slow, thick stream. This ensures the pancakes hold their shape well without spreading too much or becoming too dense.
Step 4
Now, heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt to coat the pan. Be mindful of the heat; a pan that’s too hot can burn the pancakes quickly.
Step 5
Pour a ladleful of batter (slightly less than a full ladle) onto the heated pan. Shape it into a circle slightly larger than your pineapple slice, creating a nice base for the fruit.
Step 6
Once the batter starts to set slightly, gently place a pineapple slice onto the center of each pancake. Press down lightly to help it adhere to the batter.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s time to flip when small bubbles start appearing on the surface of the batter, the edges look set, and the top appears dry and matte. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake.
Step 8
Check the underside of the pancake. It should be a beautiful golden-brown color, indicating it’s perfectly cooked and appetizing.
Step 9
Flip the pancake again so that the pineapple side is now facing down, and grill until the pineapple also turns a nice golden-brown. This caramelizes the pineapple sugars, enhancing its sweetness and flavor. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on this side.
Step 10
Enjoy the exquisite combination of warm, buttery pancakes and sweet, grilled pineapple! The delightful aroma, soft texture, and tangy-sweet taste make these pancakes an irresistible treat for children and a wonderful dessert for everyone to enjoy.
