Begin and end with dry ingredients.

⭐ Tips for Best Results

Drain pineapple very well to avoid excess moisture.
Pat strawberries dry to prevent soggy spots.
For extra strawberry flavor, fold in ¼ cup strawberry puree (adjust flour +2 tbsp).
Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
