Ingredients
  

1 fresh pineapple, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

1/4 cup brown sugar

Vegetable oil for frying

Optional: Honey or maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

Start by preparing the pineapple rings. If not done already, peel the pineapple and cut it into 1/2-inch thick rings. Ensure to remove the core for a more enjoyable eating experience.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated.

      Gradually add the coconut milk and water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter; add a little more water if needed.

        Once the batter is ready, gently fold in the shredded coconut and brown sugar. This will add a delightful texture and sweetness to the fried rings.

          Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You can test if the oil is hot enough by carefully dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

            Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it’s well coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

              Remove the fried pineapple rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

                Repeat the frying process until all the rings are cooked.

                  Optionally, drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving for extra sweetness.
