Ingredients

Fritter Batter

2/3 cup whole milk
1 large egg, at room temperature
2/3 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons
2.5 tablespoons icing (powdered) sugar
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon olive oil

Frying

1 liter frying oil

Main Ingredients

10-12 slices canned pineapple from a 20 oz. can
4.2 oz shredded coconut

Instructions

Preparation of Batter

Sift the all-purpose flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the icing sugar and mix well.
Create a well in the center to incorporate the egg and olive oil. Blend until combined.
Gradually pour in the cold milk while continuing to mix, ensuring the batter is smooth and thick, resembling pancake batter.
Once combined, cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for about 2 hours.

Prep the Pineapple

Drain the canned pineapple slices thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.

Heat the Oil

In a large saucepan, pour in the frying oil and heat it to 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Pineapple

On a shallow plate, spread a generous layer of shredded coconut.
Dip each drained pineapple slice into the chilled batter, allowing any excess to drip off before dredging it in the coconut.

Fry to Perfection

Carefully place the coated pineapple slices into the hot oil, frying them for about 1-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Drain and Serve

Transfer the fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot.

Notes

To elevate the fritters, consider adding vanilla extract or a hint of spice such as cinnamon.
