Tropical Fritter Snacks

== Description ==
I took a long detour around a pineapple fritter recipe and concocted these. We found them to be quite tasty. 
== Ingredients ==
* 1 (20 ounces) can crushed pineapple
* ¼ cup shredded coconut (toasted is ok)
* ¼ cup chopped macadamia nuts
* 3 cups flour
* ½ cup sugar
* 2 teaspoons baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon cinnamon
* ¼ cup sugar 
== Directions ==
# Mix ¼ cup sugar with cinnamon and put aside.
# This will be sprinkled on top of the fritters after they are fried.
# Heat oil to about 350°F while oil is heating, in a medium bowl, mix pineapple (don't drain), coconut, macadamia nuts, flour, ½ cup 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.
# Could also be sprinkled with confectioners' sugar (10x).
