Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 2 cups Bisquick Can substitute with whole wheat flour or a gluten-free mix.
  • 1 cup milk Use any type of milk as desired.
  • 2 large eggs For fluffiness, separate whites and beat until stiff, then fold into the batter.

  • 1 20 ounce can pineapple slices Drain and pat dry.
  • 8-10 pieces maraschino cherries Stems removed.
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar For sprinkling on top of pancakes.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat a large skillet to medium-low heat.
  2. Drain the pineapple slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk, and eggs until fully combined.
  4. Grease your skillet with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Cooking
  1. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  2. Carefully place a pineapple slice in the center of the pancake and add a cherry on top of it. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
  3. Cook for another minute, then flip the pancake and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serving
  1. Stack pancakes high on a plate, and drizzle with maple syrup. Add whipped topping for extra indulgence.
  2. Arrange extra pineapple slices and cherries on the side for a colorful presentation.

Notes

Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days or frozen for up to two months. Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Get creative with toppings like crushed nuts or flavored syrup.
