Pineapple and beignets go so well together. We’ve done one recipe from the Caribbean, and here is one from Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. I served it for dessert to some friends and it was a huge hit. These are pineapple doughnuts, but they are a lot more crunchy and lighter than your typical ones. Spring is coming, perfect time to add some fruity flavors to your doughnuts, I am not sure it would make them any healthier, but you might not feel as guilty.

Am I missing something. I don’t see how much sugar I should add
Nice catch, Jonte. Thanks. It’s 2 cups of sugar (recipe has been edited).
Also, I would recommend starting with a small batch, maybe halving the recipe, or even just use 1 cup of flour and adjust all the other ingredients.
