Happy Sunday! Yesterday I had one of the worst days ever. It began with as a lovely Saturday morning but ended with me on bed rest.
I leaned over my glass coffee table to close the window and BAM the entire table shattered into a million pieces while I was on it. It all happened so fast, next thing I know I’m laying in the middle of a pile of glass with blood rushing down my knees. I looked down and my pants was torn and my entire knee was cut.. YIKES! I freaked out.
Luckily hubby rushed me to the ER and I ended up getting 6 stitches. Now I can’t walk yet so I’ve been laying down all day. My husband made the breakfast this morning for me (one of the pleasure of being on bed rest!).
He also took over the food photography and did a pretty good job! maybe he should quit med-school and hop right into food blogging!
I’ve always thought he couldn’t cook but no no.. these pancakes are AMAZING! I’m not exaggerating when I say they are the BEST pancakes I’ve ever had in my life!
They are super moist and fluffy on the inside with a caramelized pineapple crust on the outside. Imagine an upside down pineapple cake but BETTER! He used sour-cream in the batter which gave the pancakes a really nice and slightly tangy interior. He used pineapple slices caramelized them in butter and brown sugar then poured the pancake batter right on top.
