Preparation:
In a small bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the granulated
sugar, the ginger, and a pinch of salt. In a bowl combine well the
pineapple,
the banana, the milk, and the egg, add the flour mixture, and stir the
batter
until it is combined. In a kettle heat 1 1/2 inches of the oil until it
registers 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer, drop the batter by
tablespoonfuls
into the oil in batches, and fry the fritters, turning them, for 1 to 1 1/2
minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the fritters with slotted spoon
to
paper towels to drain and sift the confectioners' sugar over them.
Makes about 22 fritters.
