  • Step 2

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

  • Step 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.

    Drizzle glaze over fritters and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
