Variations

On the hunt for gluten-free or vegan options? No worries! We've got you covered. **Gluten-Free Variation:** - Replace the standard flour in the dough with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. - Make sure your baking powder is gluten-free as well. **Vegan Variation:** - Substitute the butter with a vegan butter alternative. 🧈 - Use a plant-based yogurt in place of sour cream (coconut or almond yogurt works great). - Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons of water per egg, let it sit for a few minutes to thicken up). 🥄 🌿 *Voilà! You still get to enjoy all the goodness without any gluten or animal products.*

Faq

  • How do I know when the caramel is ready?

    Keep an eye on the color and texture. Once it turns a beautiful amber color and thickens slightly, it's ready!

  • Can I use fresh pineapple instead of canned?

    Absolutely! Just make sure to slice them thinly and remove the core. Fresh might take a little longer to caramelize.

  • Do I need to sift the flour?

    Sifting helps to aerate the flour and removes any lumps, giving you a lighter, fluffier batter.

  • How do I prevent the caramel from sticking to the pan?

    Make sure your baking dish is well-greased before placing the caramelized pineapples.

  • Can I prepare the caramel in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Warm it slightly before using it to make it easier to pour.

  • What's the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftover pastry in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slightly before serving for the best flavor.
