Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters
A delightful treat that captures the essence of summer with juicy peaches, these fritters are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, finished with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
Oil, for frying
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or heavy pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters or dip them in the glaze for an extra sweet touch. Serve immediately and enjoy these delightful peach fritters!
