Upon periodic checking, if you feel that the fritters are have acquired a golden brown color on the surface you can reduce the cooking time up to a minute. Do not decrease the time to less than four minutes.

Cooking is not yet done, flip the fritters upside down and repeat the cooking time once again.

Convert the butter to a bowl and add the sugar, milk, and vanilla to it. Keep the mixture beating until it is stirred well to get a smooth texture.

Take a cooling rack and place some parchment under the rack. Place the cooked fritters on it and apply the butter glaze evenly on the surface. The parchment paper beneath will help to collect the butter drippings.
