A tropical twist on the traditional fritter. Crunchy, fresh and delicious, I hope you like it. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 plantain, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch chunks (ripe, with black sports or all-black skin) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 cup milk |
1 large egg |
1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped |
vegetable oil, for frying |
powdered sugar (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place plantain in medium saucepan; pour water over to cover. Boil plantains for 10 minutes. Drain well; transfer plantains to paper towels to absorb moisture.
2. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg, in medium bowl. Whisk together milk and egg; add to flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Stir in plantain and pineapple until blended.
3. Pour oil into deep saucepan or skillet to depth of 1-1/2 inches. Heat to 375ºF.
4. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry fritters for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once with slotted spoon.
5. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them, if desired. Serve warm.
