Let’s get cooking! Follow these easy steps to create your Pineapple Coconut Fritters:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
   • Gather all your ingredients and measure them out. Having everything ready will make the process smooth and enjoyable.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these together until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
3. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined. This is where the magic begins!
4. Combine the Mixtures:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine!
   • Now, fold in the chopped pineapple. The key here is to be gentle, so you don’t break up the pineapple too much.
5. Heat the Oil:
   • In a large skillet or frying pan, pour enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom, about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil over medium heat until it shimmers. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small amount of batter; if it sizzles, you’re good to go!
6. Fry the Fritters:
   • Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown.
7. Drain the Fritters:
   • Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This will help keep them crispy.
8. Serve Warm:
   • Serve your Pineapple Coconut Fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy them on their own or with a side of tropical fruit salad!
