**Sweet And Sour Pancakes**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup buttermilk
– 1 large egg
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
– 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, drained
– 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved
– 1/4 cup maple syrup
– 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– Vegetable oil for cooking
**Instructions:**
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the buttermilk and melted butter. Mix until combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
5. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
7. Stir in the pineapple chunks and maraschino cherries, coating them with the sweet and sour sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
