Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Fresh Pineapple Rings (½ inch thick, ripe and juicy) – about 6 to 8 rings
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Cornstarch
  • 2 large Eggs
  • ¾ cup Milk or Buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil (for frying, about 1-2 inches deep)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pineapple: Start with fresh pineapple rings about ½ inch thick. If using whole pineapple, slice carefully and remove any tough core pieces. Pat the rings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the batter stick better.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk (or buttermilk). Slowly add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until you get a smooth batter that coats well without being too runny.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a deep skillet or frying pan about 1 to 2 inches deep and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy; this temperature ensures a crispy crust without sogginess.
  4. Dip and Fry: Carefully dip each pineapple ring into the batter, coating evenly on both sides. Gently lower the coated rings into the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove fried pineapple rings with a slotted spoon, placing them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while still hot and crispy for the best taste.

Notes

  • Slice pineapple rings evenly to ensure uniform cooking and frying.
  • Pat pineapple rings dry before battering to prevent sogginess.
  • Maintain oil temperature consistently around 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked coating.
  • Adjust batter thickness with flour or milk to achieve the desired crispiness.
  • Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature and get crispier results.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes before frying to improve texture and adherence.
  • For variations, try adding shredded coconut to batter for extra crunch or cinnamon sugar coating for spiced sweetness.
  • For vegan options, replace eggs with flaxseed egg and use plant-based milk.
