Pineapple fritters 1/10

Pineapple fritters

Sweet fritters are popular the world over, and everyone has their fave: sugar-coated, jam-filled, fruit-based, etc. To make these toothsome treats at home start with a can of drained pineapple slices. Pour 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl, and drop 2 beaten eggs into the center with 3 1/2 tablespoons melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar and 3/4 cup milk. Mix well. Dredge the pineapples in the batter and fry them up on both sides. Soak up excess oil by placing the fritters on paper towel-lined plates and sprinkle them with powdered sugar before serving.
