These are the Club Tropicana of pancakes - sweet juicy pineapple with coconut and golden syrup. 

These pineapple pancakes are a little different. Of course you can top a pancake recipe with anything - including chunks of pineapple and desiccated coconut. But these combine the crushed pineapple and coconut into the actual batter, so the whole pancake tastes tropical. Once you've made them, they're delicious served simply with crème fraîche as we have below - but you can be much more adventurous. Add mixed berries, chunks of fresh or tinned pineapple, coconut ice cream - whatever you fancy. For ease, this recipe uses pre-mixed dried pancake batter.

Ingredients

  • 250g/10oz dry pancake mix
  • 110g/4oz sweetened desiccated coconut
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 2 tbsp Lyle's Golden Syrup
  • 350ml milk
  • 200g/8oz can of crushed pineapple
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • crème fraîche or plain yoghurt, for serving

Method

  1. In a large bowl combine the pancake mix, coconut, egg, milk and crushed pineapple together to make the batter. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, under a medium heat.
  2. Pour a rounded tablespoon of batter onto the hot pan and flatten slightly. Fry the batter for 1-2 minutes and when it starts to bubble, turn over to reveal a crisp and golden side.
  3. Cook for a further 1-2 mins and set aside in a warm place. Finish making the rest of the batter in the same way.
  4. To serve, stack up 3-4 pancakes per person, drizzle with golden syrup and top with a dollop of crème fraîche. Delicious served with fruit salad.
