Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¼ cups diced peaches (about 2 fresh peaches)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup milk (80 ml)
- 2 tbsps white sugar
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Milk (enough to make a drizzling consistency)
Instructions
- Batter Preparation: Whisk flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Liquid Fusion: Blend eggs, milk, and melted butter in a separate bowl until smooth, then gently fold into the dry ingredients to create a light, airy batter without overmixing.
- Peach Integration: Delicately incorporate diced peaches into the batter, ensuring even distribution and maintaining the batter’s delicate texture.
- Oil Heating: Warm vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or electric fryer to 375°F, establishing the ideal frying environment for golden, crisp fritters.
- Frying Process: Carefully drop spoonfuls of peach-laden batter into the hot oil, allowing fritters to float and develop a rich, golden-brown exterior, rotating occasionally to ensure even cooking for 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Draining and Finishing: Remove fritters with a slotted spoon, drain excess oil on paper towels, then create a silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar with milk to a drizzleable consistency.
- Final Touch: Embellish the warm fritters by either generously drizzling with glaze or dusting with granulated sugar for an additional layer of sweetness and texture.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently to maintain a light, airy texture and avoid tough fritters.
- Oil Temperature Matters: Keep oil steady at 375°F for crispy, golden-brown exterior without greasy centers.
- Fruit Distribution Technique: Fold peaches gently to ensure even spread throughout the batter for consistent flavor in every bite.
- Drain Excess Oil: Use paper towels to remove oil, preventing soggy and heavy fritters while maintaining a crisp texture.
