Ingredients
- 8–10 pineapple rings (fresh or canned, drained and patted dry)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
- Powdered sugar, honey, or cinnamon sugar for topping
Instructions
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan to 350 °F (175 °C).
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- Beat in egg, milk, and vanilla until smooth and thick enough to coat pineapple rings.
- Dip each pineapple ring into batter, letting excess drip off.
- Fry coated rings in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer fritters to paper towels to drain.
- While warm, dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for warm spice.
- Use crushed pineapple batter to make bite-size fritters.
- Coconut twist: use coconut milk and sprinkle shredded coconut on top.
- Air-fryer option: fry at 375 °F for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For gluten-free, substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
