Preparation

How to prepare Pineapple Fritters

To make the pineapple fritters, first clean the pineapple: remove the top with the tuft 1, peel it 2, and slice it into rounds approximately 0.4 inches thick 3.

Then use a round cutter about 1.6 inches in diameter to remove the core from each slice 4; alternatively, you can use the special tool. Move on to preparing the batter: pour the flour into a bowl 5, add the sugar 6

and the cinnamon 7, then add the water 8 and mix with a whisk until you get a smooth and homogeneous mixture 9.

Fill a small saucepan with plenty of seed oil and bring it to a temperature of 338°F, checking it with the help of a thermometer. Thoroughly coat the pineapple slices in flour 10, then dip them in the batter 11, let the excess batter drain off, and gently immerse them in the hot oil 12. Fry a few pieces at a time to prevent the oil temperature from dropping.

Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes until they become golden brown 13, then drain them on a sheet of absorbent paper or frying paper and sprinkle them with granulated sugar 14. Your pineapple fritters are ready to be enjoyed while still warm 15!
