Description
Fried Pineapple Rings are a delicious treat that combines the sweetness of fresh pineapple with a crispy batter, perfect for a tropical dessert or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh pineapple, sliced into ½-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and granulated sugar.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Carefully place the battered pineapple rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the fried rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, try adding shredded coconut to the batter.
- Serve the fried pineapple rings with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
- Grilling the pineapple rings instead of frying is a healthier option.
