Pineapple Drop Doughnuts image

They remind me a little of Gibson's Doughnuts pineapple fritters! Gibson's is a small doughnut shop here in Memphis that is open 24 hours a day. Seriously. No better doughnuts anywhere. If you come to Memphis, YOU MUST GO THERE! This recipe is from 1983 Southern Living Annual Recipes! So good and a quick fix for a craving since Gibson's only sells their fritters on Friday and Saturday and once they are all gone they don't make anymore! :(

Time 40m

Yield 36 doughnuts, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
vegetable oil
powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; mix well.
  • Add the milk, eggs and pineapple, stirring until smooth.
  • Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil to 375*F
  • Carefully drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into hot oil.
  • Cook about 1 minute or until golden brown on one side, turn and cook about 1 minute or until golden brown on the other side.
  • Drain well on paper towels and sprinkle with powdered sugar
  • NOTE: If your doughnuts turn out greasy it is because your oil is not hot enough! First rule of Southern Cooking: WE FRY EVERYTHING! Second rule of Southern Cooking: Make sure your frying oil is HOT enough!
  • NOTE: I usually cook between 4 & 6 doughnuts at a time and remove the others to a warm oven before serving!
