Perfect for summer breakfasts, brunch, or a light dessert, these homemade fritters are easy to prepare and bursting with seasonal flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the fritters:

1½ cups all-purpose flour

¼ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅔ cup whole milk

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1½ cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 2 medium peaches)

Vegetable oil for frying (enough for 2 inches deep in pan)

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 2: Mix the wet ingredients

In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Step 3: Combine wet and dry

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 4: Fold in peaches

Gently fold the diced fresh peaches into the batter with a spatula, mixing until evenly distributed.

Step 5: Heat the oil

In a deep skillet or pot, pour vegetable oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) using a thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 6: Fry the fritters

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning once, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Drain

Remove fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack to drain and cool slightly.

Step 8: Prepare the glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.

Step 9: Glaze the fritters

Drizzle the glaze over the warm fritters or dip the tops into the glaze. Let the glaze set for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use firm, ripe peaches for the best texture. Overripe peaches may make the batter too wet.

  • Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying—this can cause the oil temperature to drop.

  • No thermometer? Drop a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float to the top.

  • To make ahead: You can prepare the batter up to 2 hours in advance and refrigerate it until ready to fry.

  • Want a twist? Add a pinch of nutmeg or a handful of blueberries for extra flavor.
