Description
Fresh Peach Fritters are crisp, puffy, and golden brown with juicy fresh peaches, warm cinnamon, and a sweet sugar coating or powdered sugar glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 1/4 cups diced fresh peaches
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Granulated sugar, for coating
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Milk, as needed for glaze
Instructions
- Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
- Whisk in eggs, milk, and melted butter until the batter looks thick and spoonable.
- Gently fold in diced peaches until evenly distributed.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep heavy pan to 375 degrees F.
- Carefully ladle 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter into the hot oil for each fritter.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning as needed, until puffed and golden brown.
- Remove fritters with long-handled tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Roll warm fritters in granulated sugar or drizzle with powdered sugar glaze.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with enough milk to make a smooth drizzling consistency.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Cut peaches into small pieces so the fritters cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pan because the oil temperature will drop.
- Let the oil return to 375 degrees F between batches.
- Serve warm for the crispest texture.
