Fresh Peach Fritters

By JoyT

Fluffy, soft, moist and loaded with fresh peaches…Peach Fritters! These Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters come together quickly and fry up in about 3 minutes to a beautiful puffy golden brown.

Ingredients

• GLAZE:
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 1/4 cups peaches, diced (I used 2 fresh peaches which came to a little over 1 1/4 cups of peaches)
• Granulated sugar in flat-sided bowl or a powdered sugar glaze
• Oil for fryer or deep frying pan
• 1 cup confectioners sugar
• Milk, enough to make a drizzling consistency.

Preparation

Step 1

With a wire whip, combine flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk in eggs, milk and butter. Fold in peaches.

Heat oil in fryer or pan to 375 degrees F.

With long handled ladle, ladle about 1/4 -1/2 cup batter into hot oil. The batter will sink at first and then rise. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes, depending on size of fritters.

Remove fritters from oil with long-handled tongs. Quickly drain on paper towels or newspaper. Then place fritter in bowl of sugar. Coat with sugar on both sides, or glaze tops of fritters.
