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
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Other
- 1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/4 cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly incorporated.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Make the Batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, forming a thick batter. Avoid overmixing to ensure light fritters.
- Add Peaches and Butter: Carefully fold the peeled and diced fresh peaches and the melted unsalted butter into the batter to evenly distribute.
- Heat Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C), ensuring enough depth for frying the fritters properly.
- Fry the Fritters: Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil in batches, frying each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Drain Excess Oil: Transfer the cooked fritters onto a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil and keep them crisp.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While the fritters are still warm, toss them in cinnamon sugar to coat evenly, adding a sweet and spiced finish.
- Serve: Serve the peach fritters warm for the best flavor and texture. Enjoy immediately as a delicious treat or breakfast.
Notes
- Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature (350°F/175°C) to ensure the fritters cook evenly without absorbing too much oil.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep fritters light and fluffy.
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor and juiciness in the fritters.
- Leftover fritters can be reheated in a skillet or oven to restore crispiness.
- Adjust cinnamon sugar coating to taste for more or less sweetness and spice.
