INGREDIENTS
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup milk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons melted butter
1-1/2 cups peeled and diced fresh peaches
Oil for frying
FOR THE GLAZE
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla and melted butter until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir just until combined – do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer. The recipe says 350 degrees, but I find that to be too hot – it fries the fritters too fast and the centers don’t get done. So, about 325 degrees is better.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Only add a few at a time, so you don’t overcrowd the pan, as you’ll need some room for flipping.
Fry until golden brown and cooked all the way through – 2-3 minutes at 350, or 4-5 at 325.
Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
For the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the fritters, or simply dip the fritters in the glaze and let set slightly before serving.
