In large, deep saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F. Spread pear slices on baking sheet; sprinkle both sides with remaining sugar. Using two forks, dip pear slices in batter; cook four at a time, turning halfway through, until golden, about 4 minutes. Using skimmer, transfer fritters to paper towel-lined baking sheet.
