Ingredients

  • 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
  • Pinch each ground ginger cinnamon and nutmeg
  • 1 egg
  • cups (375 mL) buttermilk
  • 2/3 cup (150 mL) melted butter, divided
  • 1 cup (250 mL) E.D.SMITH TRIPLE FRUITS® Apricot Peach Passion Fruit Spread, divided
  • 12 thin pineapple rings
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) prepared coconut whipped cream
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) toasted coconut flakes

Directions
 

  • Whisk together flour blend, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. In separate bowl, whisk together egg, buttermilk and 2 tbsp (30 mL) melted butter; stir into flour mixture until just combined (batter will be lumpy). Let stand for 5 minutes. Drizzle 1/3 cup (75 mL) fruit spread over batter; fold in gently a few times to swirl.
  • Pat pineapple rings dry using paper towel. Stir 1/3 cup (75 mL) melted butter with 1/3 cup (75 mL) fruit spread until combined; brush over both sides of pineapple rings. Preheat large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. In batches, cook pineapple slices for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown; set aside.
  • Rinse and dry skillet; heat over medium heat. Brush with some of the remaining melted butter. In batches, using 1/4 cup (60 mL) batter for each pancake, cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top. Gently press pineapple ring into top of each pancake. Flip over and gently press down on each pancake with spatula; cook for about 1 minute or until cooked through, brushing with remaining melted butter as needed.
  • Serve pancakes, pineapple ring side up, topped with coconut whipped cream, coconut flakes and dollop of remaining fruit spread in centre of pineapple ring.
  • Serves: 6
