Ingredients
Fresh Pineapple
A ripe pineapple is essential for this recipe. You will need about one medium-sized pineapple. The sweetness and juiciness of fresh fruit enhance the flavor profile of the fried rings.
All-Purpose Flour
You will need 1 cup of all-purpose flour. This forms the base for the batter, giving it a light and crispy texture once fried.
Granulated Sugar
Use 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar to add sweetness to the batter. This sugar caramelizes during frying, giving the rings a delightful golden color.
Baking Powder
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to help the batter rise slightly while frying. This ingredient ensures that your rings are fluffy and not dense.
Salt
A pinch of salt (about 1/4 teaspoon) balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
Cooking Oil
For frying, use enough cooking oil (approximately 2 cups) to fill your frying pan at least 1 inch deep. This oil creates a crispy exterior for each ring.
