Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh peaches, diced (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 egg (or vegan egg substitute)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (canola, vegetable, or peanut oil)
Instructions
- Prep Peaches: Dice the peaches. If they are very juicy, lightly drain to avoid thinning the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the milk, egg (or substitute), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Heat Oil: In a heavy-bottomed pot or fryer, heat oil to 350–375°F (175–190°C).
- Fry: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning once, until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain: Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with glaze or honey, and serve warm.
Notes
For extra indulgence, drizzle with a vanilla glaze made of powdered sugar, milk, and a touch of vanilla. Try adding a dash of cardamom for more spice depth.
