Pineapple upside down holiday pancakes

    Holidays are a good time to have a different type of my favorite breakfast meal--pancakes. Nothing says a holiday like a new breakfast treat for the family.   It usually means trying to find recipes that bring a little dessert to breakfast.  My newest find takes a favorite cake recipe and brings it to pancakes. This I found at Rachael Ray's website.

INGREDIENTS

6 pineapple rings
2 tablespoons brown sugar
6 maraschino cherries
3 cups pancake mix
Butter, for cooking whipped cream for serving

PREPARATION

Heat a griddle to medium heat.
Rub each pineapple ring with a little brown sugar.
Place a little butter on the griddle. Once melted, place a pineapple ring onto the griddle. Place a maraschino cherry inside the pineapple ring. Ladle about 1/4 cup of pancake batter over the top of the pineapple. Cook for about 1-2 minutes and flip. Cook for another 1/2 minute.

Serves 4-6
