Upside-Down Pineapple Pancakes With Pineapple Coconut Syrup image

From my favorite cookbook by Marie Simmons, Pancakes A to Z. She credits this recipe to Chef Philippe Padovani from the Manele Bay Hotel. Similar to a pineapple upside-down cake but now you can call it breakfast! ;) Fresh or canned pineapple rings can be used and Marie suggests using two 6-inch nonstick skillets so you can make both pancakes at the same time. Or using one pan, make the first pancake & just repeat the process for the second. Posted for ZWT 5 Caribbean region.
