Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the flour and sugar until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in the pineapple juice to create a smooth, lump-free slurry.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Slowly pour about one-third of the hot pineapple mixture into the beaten egg while whisking vigorously to temper the egg.
  6. Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining hot liquid, whisking constantly.
  7. Return the saucepan to low heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the dressing thickens further and coats the back of a spoon.
  8. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the bits of butter until melted and fully incorporated.
  9. Let the dressing cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  10. Serve cold over fresh fruit salads.
