Pineapple Fritters

I used the term "fritter" today in a reply to a comment and somehow committed to post a recipe for pineapple fritters. Strange how that happens.
Here it is. This recipe came from my mom and I have no idea where she got it. Madam loves them and they are tasty in a Krispy Kreme kind of way. Sweet and fried which is pretty much a formula for a lot of Southern dishes. Mom used to serve them as a side dish with ham or other pork dish( I didn't say Spam...I just implied it.) and I can live with that. They can also stand on their own as a dessert. They are really simple to make other than the bother of frying and no they are not heart healthy.

Pineapple Fritters

1 cup of all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup of milk
1 large egg
1 TBLsp of sugar
1 small can of crushed pineapple drained with juice reserved

Mix all of the above together and fry by dropping teaspoons full in hot oil. Cook until golden. Don't crowd the pan and put the cooked fritters in a serving bowl keeping them all warm until you have cooked all the batter.

Take the juice from the pineapple and mix it with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 TBLsp unsalted butter, 1 TBLsp of flour and heat this in a small pan until it thickens and is syrupy. Pour this over the fritters and serve.
