1. Let’s Start Here:

Crispy Pineapple Fritters are a delightful treat that combines the tropical sweetness of pineapple with a satisfyingly crunchy exterior. These golden morsels are perfect for dessert or a sweet snack.

2. What You’ll Need:

• 1 20 oz can pineapple rings (contains about 10 rings)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• of salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable or canola oil for shallow frying

3. Let’s Get Cooking:

Begin by preparing the batter, then dip the pineapple slices into it, ensuring they are fully coated. Fry the coated pineapple in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 1: Make the batter

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, egg, and milk. Whisk everything together with a fork until you have a smooth batter, similar in consistency to pancake batter. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfect texture.

Step 2: Prepare the panko crumbs

Pour the panko crumbs into another shallow dish. Make sure the dish is large enough to easily coat the pineapple rings later. This will be your breading station for the next step.

Step 3: Preheat the oil

Pour about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of oil into a large skillet. Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat up thoroughly before frying the pineapple rings.

Step 4: Fry the pineapple rings

Pat the pineapple rings dry using paper towels. Dip each ring into the prepared batter, shaking off any excess. Then, coat the batter-covered ring thoroughly in the panko crumbs. Immediately place the coated pineapple ring into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Flip the rings carefully to ensure even cooking.

Step 5: Serve and garnish

Serve the fried pineapple rings hot, warm, or at room temperature. They are delicious on their own or can be garnished with powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, ice cream, or whipped cream for an extra treat. Arrange on a platter for serving.

4. Serving Suggestions

Serve these fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar. They are delicious on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup also complements them nicely.
