Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced into 1/2-inch cubes
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. – In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and sugar until well combined.
3. – Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
4. – Gently fold in the diced pineapple.
5. – In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.
6. – Working in batches, carefully drop tablespoon-sized scoops of the batter into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
7. – Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
8. – Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
– For best results, use fresh, ripe pineapple. Canned pineapple can also be used, but may result in a softer texture.
– Try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor.
– Serve the Pineapple Fritters warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of honey for a decadent treat.
