½ cup brown sugar
2 tbs. butter - diced
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
for the dough:
½ cup sugar
1 ½ cups flour
2 tbs. butter - diced
pinch of salt
½ cup brown sugar

for the crumb topping:
½ cup brown sugar
2 tbs. butter - diced
3 tbs. sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat Oven 350 degrees: Butter a tart pan or pie plate. Combine the pineapple, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and vanilla in a bowl and mix. Set aside while preparing the dough.

Work the butter in the mixture with your fingers until small crumbs form. Cover the top of the tart with the crumb. Bake 30-35 minutes. Serve plain or with ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and rinse it with cold water.
  • For a sweeter shortcake, use more sugar in the batter. You can also add a glaze or frosting to the top of the shortcakes after they have cooled.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to chill the shortcakes before serving. This will help them to hold their shape and make them easier to cut.
  • Garnish the shortcakes with fresh fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream for a special touch.
