Coconut Pineapple Fritters
Coconut Pineapple Fritters are a delightful treat combining juicy, caramelized pineapple in a crispy coconut batter, perfect for warm days or gatherings.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10-12 slices slices of canned pineapple (one 20 oz. can)
- 200 ml whole milk (2⁄3 cup + 3 tablespoons)
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 100 g all-purpose flour (2⁄3 cup + 2 tablespoons)
- 120 g shredded coconut
- 20 g icing (powdered) sugar (2 1⁄2 tablespoons)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1000 ml frying oil (33.8 fl oz)
Instructions
Preparation
- Sift the all-purpose flour and icing sugar into a large mixing bowl.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the large egg and olive oil, then mix until combined.
- Gradually pour in the cold milk while stirring until the batter is smooth and thick, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Frying
- Drain the canned pineapple slices and gently pat them dry with paper towels.
- Heat the frying oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Spread the shredded coconut on a shallow plate, dip each slice of pineapple into the batter, and then dredge it in the coconut.
- Carefully place two battered pineapple slices into the hot oil, frying for 1-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and serve hot.
Notes
For added flavor, consider sprinkling cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter. Use whole wheat flour for a healthier alternative. Ensure consistent oil temperature when frying.
