Innkeeper Comments:

We featured this recipe at one of our "Breakfast in Bed" cooking workshops and it received rave reviews. I found the pancake recipe in an old Betty Crocker cookbook and added the Inn's special rum sauce for a great combination.

Ingredients:

Pancakes:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15-1/4 oz.) can crushed pineapple
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup flaked coconut; additional coconut, if desired
  • pineapple rings, if desired

Rum Sauce:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 4 teaspoons light rum or 1/4 teaspoon rum extract

Instructions:

Pancakes:
In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Drain pineapple; reserve syrup. Add water to syrup to make 1 cup of liquid. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, syrup-water mixture, milk and vegetable oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir only until combined; batter will still be lumpy.

In small bowl, mix pineapple and coconut. Preheat griddle. Brush with oil. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto griddle. Sprinkle each pancake with 1 tablespoon pineapple mixture. Cook over med-high heat for 2-3 minutes until underside is golden brown and surface is bubbly. Turn and cook 2-3 minutes more until other side is golden brown. Serve with Rum Sauce, additional coconut and halved pineapple rings, if desired. Makes 16 pancakes.

Rum Sauce:
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and flour. Stir in half-and-half and butter. Cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in rum. Refrigerate until needed.
