Description
These crispy, golden pineapple fritters are a delightful tropical treat that come together in just 10 minutes. Bursting with fresh pineapple flavor and a light, airy texture, they make the perfect party appetizer or anytime snack.
Ingredients
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons white sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 egg
– 3/4 cup milk
– 1 cup diced fresh pineapple
– Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk.
3. Pour the milk mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined (do not overmix).
4. Fold in the diced pineapple.
5. Heat 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
6. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, gently drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, frying in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
7. Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
8. Serve the pineapple fritters warm, drizzled with a bit of honey or syrup if desired.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe pineapple for maximum flavor. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for an extra layer of warmth. These fritters are best enjoyed immediately, but leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes.
