Pineapple fritters are the perfect summer food. The sweetness of the pineapple perfectly compliments the crispy batter. Pineapple fritters are often served with chicken and chips. They are often sold in the Hawaiian Pack at the local chicken shop or Red Rooster and are a fun treat.

These fritters can be served alone, alongside chicken or fish, or other fried foods such as Potato Scallops or chips. They also work as a great dish at children’s parties.

In this recipe you want enough batter to offer a crisp contrast to the pineapple. But you do not want it so thick that it overwhelms its sweetness.
