Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour; 3 teaspoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon peanut oil; 3/4 cup water; 2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar; 2 tablespoons cornstarch; 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice; 1 quart peanut oil for frying; 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

Servings: persons

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon peanut oil
3/4 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, with juice
1 quart peanut oil for frying
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting

1
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of peanut oil and water using a fork. Divide into 4 pieces, and form into rounds. Set aside.
2
In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple and juice using a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Set aside to cool slightly.
3
Heat the peanut oil in a large deep skillet to 385 degrees F (195 degrees C). Roll out the balls of dough on a lightly floured surface to about 8x5 inch rectangles. Cut into four smaller rectangles. Fry a few pieces at a time in the hot oil until they puff like pillows, about 1 minute. Turn over and fry until browned on the other side. Remove to drain on paper towels.
4
While the pillows are still hot, make a slit along two connecting sides of each one. Open up and fill each one with a rounded tablespoonful of the pineapple filling. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm.
