How to Make Pineapple Plantain Fritters

  1. Peel and slice 2 ripe plantains. Place them in a medium saucepan.
  2. Add enough water to cover the plantains completely.
  3. Bring the water to a boil and cook the plantains for 10 minutes, until slightly softened.
  4. Drain the plantains well and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk and 1 large egg.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
  8. Gently stir in the cooked plantains and 1 cup of drained, crushed pineapple until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  9. Pour about 2 cups of vegetable oil into a deep saucepan or skillet to a depth of 1 ½ inches.
  10. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
  11. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  12. Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, turning once with a slotted spoon.
  13. Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  14. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
  15. Serve the Pineapple Plantain Fritters warm and enjoy!
