For the glaze:

• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

• 2–3 tablespoons milk

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined (do not overmix).

2️⃣ Add Pineapple:
Gently fold the drained pineapple chunks into the batter. Let the mixture rest while you heat the oil.

3️⃣ Fry the Fritters:
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Using a large spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.

4️⃣ Drain and Cool:
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil. Let cool for 5–10 minutes.

5️⃣ Glaze the Fritters:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle generously over warm fritters.

Serving Tip:
Enjoy warm with coffee or tea for the ultimate treat. These also reheat beautifully in the oven for a quick next-day delight!
