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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Once the doughnuts are cool enough to handle, dip the tops into the glaze and place them back on a wire rack to set.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly made Pineapple Drop Doughnuts!
