Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups (diced) Fresh pineapple
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Orange juice
• 0.25 cups Dark rum
• 2 scoops per serving (optional) Vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, quickly tilting it to spread the batter evenly.

Step 3

Cook for 1-2 minutes until the crepe is slightly golden on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the crepes on a plate and covering them with a kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 4

In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced pineapple and brown sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple becomes caramelized, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the orange juice to the pineapple mixture and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 6

To assemble, place a scoop of the pineapple filling into the center of each crepe and fold it into quarters or roll it up.

Step 7

Return the skillet with the pineapple sauce to medium heat. Add the dark rum and carefully ignite it with a long lighter or match to flambé. Let the flames subside naturally, stirring gently to combine the remaining liquid.

Step 8

Drizzle the flambéed pineapple sauce over the filled crepes. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, if desired.
