Pineapple-Plantain Fritters

• 1 plantain, peeled and chopped into 1/2-inch chunks (ripe, with black sports or all-black skin)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup fresh pineapple, chopped
• vegetable oil, for frying
• powdered sugar (optional)

1. Place plantain in medium saucepan; pour water over to cover. Boil plantains for 10 minutes. Drain well; transfer plantains to paper towels to absorb moisture.
2. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg, in medium bowl. Whisk together milk and egg; add to flour mixture. Mix until smooth. Stir in plantain and pineapple until blended.
3. Pour oil into deep saucepan or skillet to depth of 1-1/2 inches. Heat to 375u0b0F.
4. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls, a few at a time, into hot oil. Fry fritters for about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once with slotted spoon.
5. Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them, if desired. Serve warm.
