The ultimate Kiwi summer treat with a twist! Crispy, sweet pineapple bites meet a drizzle of hot honey for a flavour combo that’s seriously next level.

Pineapple Fritters

Ingredients

  • 4–6 pineapple rings (fresh or canned, well drained and patted dry)

  • 1 cup Pub Crawl
  • ½ cup of cold beer (to mix with batter)

  • Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • Icing sugar or Sweet Sesh for serving

Directions

  1. Start by patting the pineapple rings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the Pub Crawl together with ½ cup of cold beer until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy-based pan to 180°C, making sure there is enough oil to fully submerge the pineapple rings.
  4. Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, coating it thoroughly. Carefully lower the battered rings into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Fry the pineapple rings for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to turn them gently for even cooking.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
  7. Serve the fritters warm, either dusted with icing sugar for a classic touch or drizzled generously with hot honey for a sweet, sticky finish.
