Instructions
-
Prepare the Pineapple:
- Start by peeling the pineapple and cutting it into slices. Using a round cutter, remove the central core from each slice, aiming for about 4 cm in diameter.
-
Prepare the Coating:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Add the water and stir until the mixture is well blended.
-
Fry the Fritters:
- Pour a generous amount of peanut oil into a pot and heat it to 170°C (340°F). You can check the temperature using a thermometer to ensure it’s correct.
-
Dredge the Pineapple:
- Take the pineapple slices and coat them lightly with flour. Dip them into the batter, ensuring an even coat, and allow any excess batter to drip off.
-
Fry in Batches:
- Carefully drop the pineapple slices into the hot oil, making sure to fry them in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature. Fry each fritter for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
-
Drain and Serve:
- Once fried, remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with granulated sugar while still warm.
Your Pineapple Fritters are now ready to be enjoyed, served hot for the best flavor and texture. Perfect for a sweet treat that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Enjoy this tropical delight!
