Using a simple beer batter, these skillet pineapple fritters topped with cinnamon sugar make a sweet dessert while camping. The pineapples are sweet and tart, balanced with the crispy coating. You can eat them as they are, or serve them with a side of vanilla ice cream.
A popular dessert found in fish and chip shops, the pineapples are cooked using the same batter as the fish. Of course, you can always eat them without fish and chips. They are an easy dessert that can be eaten alone or with ice cream but are always topped with cinnamon sugar.
The simple beer batter recipe paired up with canned pineapple means the ingredients can easily be carried camping. If you are feeling adventurous, other fruits like bananas can also be deep-fried. Always use caution when deep frying foods outdoors.
