Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• Maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the Pineapple Topping:
   • In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
   • Add brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
   • Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes until the pineapple is slightly caramelized. Set aside.
2. Pancake Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
3. Cooking the Pancakes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
   • Spoon about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
   • Once bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appear set, carefully flip them over using a spatula.
   • Cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
4. Assembling:
   • Place a cooked pancake on a serving plate, then spoon a generous amount of the pineapple topping over it.
   • Stack another pancake on top and repeat the process until all pancakes are used.
   • Finish off with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with maraschino cherries.
5. Serving:
   • Serve the Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes while they are still warm, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
   • These pancakes are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
