Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple)
- 1 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or deep fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the doughnuts are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or liquid as needed.
Once the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the glaze and place them back on a wire rack to set.
Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly made Pineapple Drop Doughnuts!
