Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing fresh pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rings, ensuring even thickness for consistent cooking. Set the pineapple rings aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until fully combined. Create a well in the center, add a large egg and milk, and stir together until smooth.
  3. In a large pot or deep frying pan, pour in vegetable oil to submerge the fritters, about 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Carefully dip each pineapple ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and coat evenly.
  5. Gently place the battered pineapple rings into the hot oil, frying in batches for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Remove the fritters using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Dust with the cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm.
  7. Serve the fritters warm, ideally alongside a scoop of coconut ice cream.
