Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Frying and Coating
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon ensuring they are well blended.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Add Peaches and Butter: Gently fold in the peeled and diced fresh peaches along with the melted unsalted butter into the batter, maintaining a light texture.
- Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C), ensuring enough oil depth for frying the fritters evenly.
- Fry Fritters: Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil in batches. Fry each fritter for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cooked fritters using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the fritters are still warm, toss them in cinnamon sugar to evenly coat and enhance their sweet and spicy flavor.
- Serve: Serve the peach fritters warm and enjoy this delightful treat fresh out of the fryer.
Notes
- Ensure the oil temperature is maintained at 350°F to cook the fritters evenly without absorbing too much oil.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the fritters light and fluffy.
- You can substitute fresh peaches with frozen peaches, but thaw and drain excess moisture before using.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
- Leftover fritters can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness.
