Pineapple Drop Doughnuts

Pineapple Drop Doughnuts

3 c. flour
3/4 c. sugar
2 T. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3 eggs
1 c. milk
1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple, drained
Oil for deep-fat frying
Confectioners’ sugar

In a large bowl, combine the first 4 ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in pineapple. Stir into dry ingredients just until blended. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375º. Drop batter by heaping teaspoonfuls, a few at a time, in Hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1-1/2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

NOTE: Doughnuts may be frozen before sugaring in an airtight container for up to a month. To reheat, place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 5-10 seconds or until warm. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.

Yield: about 10 dozen
