Ingredients

Batter Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour (can use gluten-free flour as a substitute)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (coconut sugar is a great alternative)
2 teaspoons baking powder (do not substitute directly with baking soda)
1/4 teaspoon salt (enhances flavor)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust according to preference)
1 large egg (substitute with a flax egg for vegan)
3/4 cup milk (can use dairy-free milk as a substitute)

Pineapple Ingredients

1 medium fresh pineapple (choose firm, aromatic ones)

Frying Ingredients

2 cups vegetable oil (can use canola or coconut oil)

Dusting Ingredients

1 tablespoon cinnamon and sugar mixture (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Prepare the Pineapple: Slice fresh pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rings and set them aside, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Create a well in the center, then add the egg and milk. Whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Heat Oil: Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) using a deep fryer or a large, heavy pot, ensuring it reaches the correct temperature to achieve crispy fritters.
Batter the Pineapple: Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, gently letting any excess drip off to avoid overly thick coating.
Fry the Fritters: Carefully place the coated pineapple rings into the hot oil in batches to prevent overcrowding. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Drain and Dust: Using a slotted spoon, remove the fritters and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Immediately dust with the cinnamon and sugar mixture for a warm, sweet finish.
Serve Warm: Serve the fritters warm, optionally adding a scoop of coconut ice cream for an indulgent tropical dessert experience.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use dairy-free milk.
Ensure oil temperature stays consistent at 375°F for perfect frying results.
Do not substitute baking powder directly with baking soda as it affects the rising and texture.
Use firm, ripe pineapple for the best flavor and texture.
Adjust cinnamon and sugar dusting to your preferred level of sweetness and spice.
