Ingredients
Fritters
- 3 medium peaches chopped, with any juice reserved
- 500 ml oil for frying
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 c sour cream or yogurt
- 1/2 c milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter melted
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 3 tbsp sugar or to taste
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
Glaze
- 1/2 c confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or reserved peach juice
Instructions
Heat the oil.
- Place the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and heat over medium heat while preparing the batter.
Combine the wet ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream or yogurt, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and evenly combined.
Add the dry ingredients.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, sugar, and salt to the wet mixture.
Mix the batter.
- Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be thick, soft, and similar to a cake batter consistency.
Add the peaches.
- Fold the chopped peaches gently into the batter until evenly distributed.
Fry the fritters.
- Scoop 1 to 2 tbsp of batter and carefully drop each portion into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Cook until golden.
- Fry each fritter for approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Drain the fritters.
- Transfer the cooked fritters to paper towels to absorb excess oil, then allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
Prepare the glaze.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract or reserved peach juice until smooth and free of lumps.
Glaze the fritters.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled or slightly warm fritters.
Serve.
- Serve the Fresh Peach Fritters warm or at room temperature.
