# How to Make It:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine buttermilk pancake mix and water. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
02 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly in the pan and add drained pineapple slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and caramelized. Set aside.
03 -
Pour a portion of batter into the same skillet over medium heat. Place a caramelized pineapple slice in the center. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges begin to set. Flip and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with remaining batter and pineapple.
04 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add granulated sugar, heavy cream, buttermilk, and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, incorporate vanilla extract and baking soda. Stir as syrup foams and thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
05 -
In a small bowl, blend softened butter with honey, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
06 -
Arrange pancakes on plates with pineapple side up. Drizzle generously with vanilla butter cream syrup. Top with a dollop of cinnamon butter and whipped cream. Garnish with a light dusting of ground cinnamon before serving.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Allow the syrup to cool slightly before serving; it will thicken as it stands.
