Notes
Crisp and juicy, these must be served immediately.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, 1 separated
- 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into ½ in (1.5cm) rings, then cut in half crosswise
- Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- Confectioners sugar, to serve
Directions
1. To make the batter combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the milk, 1 egg, and 1 egg yolk. Whisk quickly until smooth and lump-free.
2. Beat the egg white until stiff peaks form, and fold gently into the batter.
3. Add enough oil to come halfway up the sides of a large frying pan, and heat to 350°F (180°C) over high heat. Dip the pineapple into the batter, then carefully add to the oil. Deep-fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sift confectioner's sugar on top and serve hot.
Variation: Banana Fritters
Use 4 bananas, each cut in half lengthwise then in half crosswise, instead of pineapple.
