* Sugar with cinnamon and put aside. 
* This will be sprinkled on top of the fritters after they are fried. 
* Heat oil to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit While oil is heating, In a medium bowl, mix pineapple (don't drain), coconut, macadamia nuts, flour, 1/2 c. 
* Sugar, baking soda and salt. 
* Dough will be thick. 
* Using a tablespoon, drop dough into oil. 
* Fry until golden (about 2 minutes per side) Place on paper towel to drain and sprinkle with cinnamon-Sugar. 
* These are best served warm. 
* If serving cold make sure to sprinkle the cinnamon-Sugar on while they are still warm.
