1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

½ cup butter, room temperature

¾ cup crushed pineapple

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter, egg and sugar. Add pineapple and mix thoroughly. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix.
