Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large ripe pineapple, peeled and sliced into rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Brown sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by heating about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined; do not overmix.
- Once the oil is hot, dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated.
- Carefully place the battered pineapple rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried rings and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle with brown sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the batter.
- These can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
