PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Carefully slice the pineapple rings in half horizontally to make them into thin rings. Set aside.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then turn off the heat and whisk in the brown sugar until completely blended. Spoon a tablespoon of the sugar mixture into each well of a nonstick metal doughnut pan, then add a pineapple slice to each, pressing down firmly.
• Whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, oil, vanilla, egg, reserved pineapple juice and 1/4 cup water in a separate medium bowl. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry until fully blended. Pour into a large piping bag or gallon resealable plastic bag, snip the corner to make a 3/4-inch opening and pipe some batter into the doughnut pan, filling each well just shy of the top.
• Put the doughnut pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until a toothpick inserted in the doughnuts comes out clean, about 10 minutes. Cool the doughnuts in the pan 5 minutes, then loosen from the pan with an offset spatula and invert onto a cooling rack. Top each doughnut with a cherry and repeat with the remaining batter two more times.
