Instructions
Making the Fritters
Prep the Peaches: Begin by peeling and dicing your ripe peaches. Set them aside in a bowl.
Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then combine with milk and vanilla. Mix wet into dry and fold in peaches.
Heat the Oil: In a deep pan, add about 2 inches of oil and heat to 350°F.
Fry the Fritters: Drop heaping tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Make the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle or dip fritters in glaze.
Notes
Allow fritters to cool slightly before glazing to prevent melting. Experiment with flavors by adding spices or using different fruits.
