Hawaiian Pancakes With Pineapple Syrup

Buttermilk pancakes studded with macadamia nuts and topped with homemade

pineapple syrup.

Boxed buttermilk pancake mix

Macadamia nuts

Syrup:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup pineapple juice concentrate (right out of the can)

I took the easy way by making buttermilk pancakes from a store-bought

mix.

Just add coarsely chopped macadamia nuts to the batter, as much as you’d

like.

For the syrup, in a small saucepan, place butter, sugar and pineapple

juice.

Heat over low heat, stirring, until butter melts. Do not boil.
