Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 1 large peach)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream for glaze
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract for glaze
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the diced peaches to avoid breaking them apart.
- In a heavy-bottomed pot or deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- Using a spoon or small scoop, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry only a few at a time to prevent overcrowding.
- Fry the fritters for about 2–3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- While the fritters cool slightly, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, milk (or cream), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm fritters or dip their tops directly into it. Serve these delightful treats warm for the best experience!
