Description
Delicious and crispy pineapple fritters that are quick and easy to make, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can of pineapple rings (or fresh pineapple slices)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- If using fresh pineapple, slice the pineapple into rings and set aside. Remember, feel free to use canned pineapple rings if you’re in a pinch!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Let the cozy aroma fill your kitchen as you mix these dry ingredients together.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until the mixture is smooth. This is where the magic really starts!
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to a tender fritter.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet over medium heat. You want enough oil so that the fritters can float, but keep an eye on temperature to avoid burning.
- Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered rings into the hot oil; the sizzle will make your heart sing!
- Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Try to resist the urge to turn them too soon, as you want that perfect golden color.
- Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, and breathe in that sweet, fried aroma!
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, creating a snowy cap for these delicious treats.
