Instructions

Prepare the pineapple by draining and drying canned rings or slicing fresh pineapple into 1/2-inch thick rings.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the beaten egg, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil.
Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
Dip each pineapple ring into the batter, coating it completely.
Carefully lower the battered ring into the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown.
Transfer the fried fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon for coating.
While the fritters are still warm, toss them gently in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Notes

Serve warm on their own or with vanilla ice cream. Consider drizzling with honey or sprinkling with powdered sugar for added sweetness.
