PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN PANCAKES

Steps:

• For pineapple:
• Melt butter with cinnamon stick in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook until butter begins to brown, about 2 minutes. Add pineapple slices; cook until light golden brown, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove skillet from heat; add rum and brown sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until juices are thick and syrupy.

Place pancakes on prepared rack and bake in oven until cooked through, about 5 minutes.

• Preheat a griddle to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter the surface, then working in batches as needed, ladle 1/2 cupfuls of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon chopped pineapple on top of each one. Cook until the edges appear dry and the surface of the batter is no longer glossy, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle a pinch or two of sugar onto each pineapple and flip. Cook until pancake is cooked through and pineapple is caramelized, another 2 to 4 minutes. Place pancakes on a plate in a warm oven and repeat the process to cook remaining pancakes.
