Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Gluten-free flour can be used.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Coconut sugar can be used for a less refined option.
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder Avoid substituting directly with baking soda.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large Egg Can substitute with a flax egg for vegan option.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Dairy-free milk can be used.

Pineapple and Oil

  • 1 whole Fresh pineapple Sliced into rings.
  • 2 cups Vegetable oil Canola or coconut oil can be used.

Cinnamon Sugar Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon Additional cinnamon and sugar Adjust mixture to liking.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by slicing your fresh pineapple into rings. Each ring will be coated and fried to create a delightful fritter.

Batter Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix!

Frying

  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.
  • Dip each pineapple ring in the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place it in the hot oil.
  • Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • Once cooked, remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serving

  • Combine additional cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. While the fritters are still warm, sprinkle this mixture generously on top.

Notes

These fritters are best enjoyed warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and pair beautifully with ice cream or whipped cream. For a tropical touch, top with toasted coconut flakes or a fruit salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
