Pineapple-Plantain Fritters

 

Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 1 plantain, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch chunks (ripe, with black sports or all-black skin)
2. 1 cup all-purpose flour
3. 3 tablespoons sugar
4. 1 teaspoon baking powder
5. 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
7. 1/2 cup milk
8. 1 large egg
9. 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
10. vegetable oil, for frying
11. powdered sugar

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.
