Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 fresh pineapple peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold sparkling water
- 1 large egg
- vegetable oil for frying
Optional Toppings:
- powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- cinnamon for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and cold sparkling water together. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth to form a batter.
- Fry the Pineapple Rings: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Dip pineapple rings into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
