Ingredients
  

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch thick rings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1/2 cup coconut milk (or regular milk)

1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on preference)

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Optional: honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pineapple:

    - After cutting the pineapple into rings, pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the batter stick better.

      Make the Batter:

        - In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

          - In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk.

            - Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth and thick enough to coat the pineapple rings.

              Coat the Pineapple:

                - Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small amount of batter into it; if it sizzles and bubbles, the oil is hot enough.

                  - Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it’s fully coated, then cover it with shredded coconut, pressing lightly so it adheres.

                    Fry the Rings:

                      - Carefully place the coated pineapple rings in the hot oil, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

                        - Remove the fried pineapple rings and drain them on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

                          Serve:

                            - Arrange the fried pineapple rings on a serving platter. Dust with granulated sugar if desired and drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.

                              Enjoy:

                                - Serve warm as a tropical snack, dessert, or even as a unique topping for vanilla ice cream!
