Ingredients
- 1 pound Pineapple slices (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/2 cup Dry Sherry or White Wine
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3/4 cup Cold water (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (For frying, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (For dusting, quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Place pineapple slices in a bowl. Pour sherry or white wine over the pineapple. Sprinkle with sugar. Let stand for 1 hour, allowing the pineapple to soak up the flavors.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually whisk in cold water until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the pineapple slices.
- 3Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Drain the pineapple slices. Dip each slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place the battered pineapple slices into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 4Transfer the fritters to a serving plate and dust generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately while warm.
