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
- Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk or cream
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.
- Gently mix the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Fold in diced peaches carefully to avoid mashing.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- Drop spoonfuls of batter into hot oil, frying only a few at a time for about 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Remove fritters using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth and drizzle over warm fritters before serving.
