Time 27m

Yield 15 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 11

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)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Pour oil into deep saucepan or skillet to depth of 1-1/2 inches. Heat to 375ºF.
  • 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.
  • Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them, if desired. Serve warm.
