Ingredients
  

1 fresh ripe pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2 inch rings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for dusting)

1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
 

Start by preparing the pineapple rings. Peel, core, and cut the fresh pineapple into approximately 1/2 inch thick rings. Pat the rings dry with paper towels to reduce excess moisture.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.

      Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. If you’d like an extra tropical touch, fold in the shredded coconut for added texture and flavor.

        Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

          Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered ring into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; you can fry 2-3 rings at a time depending on the size of your skillet.

            Fry the rings for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pineapples from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

              While they are still warm, sprinkle the fried pineapple rings with granulated sugar. Turn them to ensure an even coating.

                Serve warm as a tropical snack and enjoy the crispy, sweet, and juicy delight!
