Cinnamon Pineapple Breakfast Pizza

Pizza for breakfast??

You betcha! It's also a wonderful dessert and very simple to make. My family loves it.

Preheat Oven to 450.

Biscuit Base:

1 Cup Flour*
1 ½ tsp. Baking powder
½ tsp. Salt
3 Tab. Canola or vegetable oil
½ cup + 2 Tab. Milk

Mix well.

Rub hands in flour or dough will stick

Round up into a ball on floured board.

Knead ball 6 - 8 times.

Roll out into round about ¼ inch thick.

Place on greased (sprayed) cookie sheet.

Cover with pineapple topping.

Pineapple Topping:

1 can (9 oz) crushed pineapple, drained.
4 Tab. Melted butter or margarine (½ stick)
3 Tab. Sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
2-3 tsp. Cinnamon

Drain pineapple

Pour melted butter over biscuit base

Scatter ½ of sugar over surface, then well-drained pineapple, then remaining sugar, nuts and cinnamon.

Bake for 15 minutes @ 450.

Cut into wedges and serve. Best while it's hot.

*If using self-rising flour, omit baking powder and salt.

HINT: Sometimes I chop maraschino cherries and scatter them on top. It looks very festive for company brunch or parties.

It can't be too difficult. I learned it in my high school Home Ec. Class.
Geez, does any school even teach Home Ec any more? When my older kids were in high school, there was a class called "Independent Living with kitchen lab". I think that was a politically correct name for Home Ec, changed so that guys could take the the class without feeling wimpy.
