Fluffy, soft, moist and loaded with fresh peaches...Peach Fritters!
To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.
These Peach Fritters come together quickly and fry up in about 3 minutes to a beautiful puffy golden brown. The batter doesn't have any sugar in it so rolling it in granulated sugar or topping them with a glaze as I did, is what makes it sweet. If you would prefer the batter to be a little sweet as I did, add 2 TBLS of sugar to the batter. I added about 1/2 of a teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter just because cinnamon goes so well with peaches. I made the glaze by measuring out 1 cup of confectioners sugar and adding just enough milk to be able to drizzle over the fritters. You could use lemon or orange juice instead of milk to flavor the glaze with as well. If you really wanted to get fancy you could top them with crushed pecans after they're glazed! Wouldn't that be nice!
I measured the batter out with 1/4 cup measuring cup and they were the perfect size for us. Using that measuring cup, I got 10 fritters from the batter. The inside of the fritter is loaded with peaches! Apples or pineapple would also do well in this batter. The texture of the fritter is very soft , fluffy and moist. We enjoyed this little treat a lot and hope you do too! Enjoy!

Baking About.com
Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 TBLs sugar ( my addition)
1/2 tsp cinnamon ( my addition)
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil ( I used butter)
1-1/4 cups diced peaches ( I used 2 fresh peaches which came to a little over 1 1/4 cups of peaches)
granulated sugar in flat-sided bowl or a powdered sugar glaze
oil for fryer or deep frying pan
Powdered Sugar Glaze
1 cup of confectioners sugar
milk, enough to make a drizzling consistency.
Directions
With a wire whip, combine flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk in eggs, milk and butter. Fold in peaches.
Heat oil in fryer or pan to 375 degrees F. With long handled ladle, ladle about 1/4 -1/2 cup batter into hot oil. The batter will sink at first and then rise. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes, depending on size of fritters. Remove fritters from oil with long-handled tongs. Quickly drain on paper towels or newspaper. Then place fritter in bowl of sugar. Coat with sugar on both sides, or glaze tops of fritters.

I used to stand in line at our local farmers market for apple fritters but would push to the front of the line for peach fritters:D
Yummy! Can these be made one day ahead without them suffering to much or best not to make ahead?
Fritters - yum! I was just talking about fritters the other day! I so want to make some. Do you think if I used Apple I would have to cook them first? Can't wait to try this recipe!
Aviva, they really are best eaten the day you make them. If you wanted to make them one day, but not put the glaze on them and reheat them in the microwave that might work.
Val you made me laugh! I'd be right there with you!
Lisa, You could saute the apples first, that would give them an awesome flavor in the fritter! And you could use ice cream caramel on top and have CARAMEL APPLE FRITTERS!!! Let me know what you do, I can't wait to see them!
Yum! Now is the perfect time to make this. The road side markets are loaded with juicy peaches.
These look Delicious!
i've never been a fan of apple fritters. Buuuuuuut, peaches! I'd shove Val aside, to get my hands on these. Mouth watering photos, girlfriend!
Lisa I hope you get a chance to make them they were so easy and good!
Donna they were wonderful!
Debby ! LOL!!! I'll swap you peach fritters for your PUMPKIN SCONES!!!!
Does the oil have to be deep enough to cover the fritter?
Anonymous, you don't want to just coat the pan with oil to fry them. They do need more oil than that. I'd say use a small sauce pan so you don't use alot of oil. They do need to float in it so you can turn them over to fry the other side.
Can I use caned peaches ??
Paula, YES you can use canned peaches!!
I love fritters, I can't wait to try your recipe with fresh peaches. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe. Pinned/shared.
Oh my goodness, these fritters looks out of this world good!!!
They are so easy to make and taste so mouth watering yummy
My sister and I had lots of fun making these tonight! Had them with some peach ice cream and salted caramel sauce, very tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Bunny, you evil woman....tempting us with these orgasmic looking delights. Good Lord, now I'm "GOING TO HAVE TO TRY THESE". Thank You my dear....great pics also. I'll be checking back!
Try using nutmeg or mace instead of cinnamon. You will be amazed at how well these spices really bring out the peach flavor. But only use about half as much because these spices are more potent than cinnamon.
Just finished making these. Omg! The deliciousness should be a sin!
Anonymous thank you so much for coming back to tell me you made and loved them! It's amazing how something so easy could be so GOOD!!
Love this recipe. I just bought some fresh peaches today from my Amish neighbor. I will be busy this evening. Whenever I use cinnamon in a recipe I always use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. of fresh grated nutmeg. Love the combination.
