Ingredients
Pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
Sweetened shredded coconut
All-purpose flour
Baking powder
Granulated sugar
Salt
Eggs
Milk (or coconut milk for extra flavor)
Rum extract (optional)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (or coconut milk), and rum extract if using.
-
Dip each pineapple ring into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and back into the flour.
-
Roll the ring in shredded coconut, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Fry in hot oil until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
-
Remove and drain on paper towels.
-
Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.
Notes
-
For extra coconut flavor, use coconut milk in the batter.
-
Add real rum for an adult version (if not serving kids).
-
Try serving with coconut ice cream for an indulgent twist.
-
Press coconut firmly onto rings to prevent it from falling off during frying.
-
Baking instead of frying is an option, though the rings will be less crispy.
