Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls

Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). I always find it’s a good idea to get the oven warming up while I prep the ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple (with its juice), sugar, flour, melted butter, baking powder, and salt. Give it a good stir until everything is nicely combined, feeling the texture change as the dry ingredients absorb the moisture. It should be a thick, luscious batter.
