Course: Breakfast
Servings: 4
Ingredients
2cupsBisquick
1cupmilk
2eggs
1(20 ounce)can of pineapple slices
8-10maraschino cherries(stems removed)
1/4cupbrown sugar
butter or non-stick cooking spray(for greasing the pan)
maple syrup(for serving)
whipped topping(optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet to medium low.
While it's heating up, drain the pineapples and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk and eggs.
Grease your skillet with butter or cooking spray, and add about 1/4 cup of pancake batter to the pan. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes, and then add a pineapple slice and cherry to the center; sprinkle with brown sugar and continue cooking for another minute.
Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve with syrup and whipped cream! YUM.
Notes
The first time I experimented with these, my batter was a little too thick and my pineapple slices weren't quite dry enough, so the batter around one side of the pineapple didn't quite cook all the way. Oops!
To remedy that, be sure to follow the pancake instructions on the Bisquick box, and if you're making your own homemade pancake batter, be aware of this. If you like your batter on the thicker side, you can push the pineapple ring into the batter a bit so that it cooks evenly on both sides.
