Ingredients
  

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

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon nutmeg

1 cup coconut milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

½ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

Oil for frying

Honey or maple syrup for drizzling (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the pineapple rings. Ensure they are evenly sliced and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

    In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well to distribute all the dry ingredients evenly.

      In another bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

          Heat about ½ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

            Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

              Remove the fried pineapple rings from the skillet and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

                In a shallow dish, spread the shredded coconut for coating. Immediately press each fried ring into the coconut to coat one side while they are still hot, adding a toasty flavor.

                  Arrange the coated pineapple rings on a serving platter, and drizzle them with honey or maple syrup if desired. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant presentation.
