Questions I often get asked about this recipe:
Can I use canned peaches?
While fresh peaches are ideal for the best flavor, you can use canned peaches. Drain them well before using.
What kind of oil should I use for frying?
Vegetable oil is a good all-purpose choice for frying fritters. Peanut oil or canola oil can also be used.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough?
To test the oil temperature, drop a small piece of batter into the hot oil. If it sizzles and bubbles up immediately, the oil is ready.
What can I do if the fritters are too greasy?
To reduce grease, allow the fritters to drain on a paper towel-lined plate for a few minutes.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to make the batter fresh for optimal results. However, you can store the dry ingredients in a sealed container and the wet ingredients separately until ready to use.
Can I freeze the fritters?
While it’s possible to freeze cooked fritters, the texture may suffer. It’s best to enjoy them fresh.
What you need to make Glazed Fresh Peach Fritters:
2 large ripe peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for frying
For the glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
How to make it:
Prepare the peaches: Dice the peaches into small, even pieces.
Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients just until moistened. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Heat the oil: Pour enough vegetable oil into a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to reach a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Glaze the fritters: Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters and serve immediately.
Tips:
For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk.
You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for extra warmth.
Serve fritters with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
