Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 24 servings

  • oil for frying

  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed pineapple in juice, drained and juice reserved

  • 1 cup self-rising flour

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 egg

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed (Optional)

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Whisk pineapple, flour, milk, and egg together to form a light and fluffy batter.

  3. Bring reserved pineapple juice to a boil in a small saucepan. Add white sugar and stir to dissolve; lower heat. Simmer until thickened glaze forms, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.

  4. Drop spoonfuls of batter in the hot oil, 2 to 3 pieces at a time, and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  5. Drizzle glaze over fritters and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Cook’s Note

I prefer to use skim milk in this recipe.
