1. 1.

   Drain the pineapple and cut the fruit into cubes.

2. 2.

   Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Mix the liquid butter with sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt, then stir in the buttermilk. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, and poppy seeds; briefly fold into the wet mixture until dry ingredients are moist, then fold in pineapple cubes.
