How to Make Golden Peach Fritters

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup diced ripe peaches (fresh or canned, well-drained)

1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and vanilla.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in the diced peaches.
In a deep skillet, heat about 1 inch of oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle the warm fritters with the glaze and enjoy!

How to Serve Golden Peach Fritters

These fritters are best served warm. You can dust them with extra powdered sugar or serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They make a perfect sweet snack for gatherings or a tasty breakfast treat.

How to Store Golden Peach Fritters

If you have leftovers, store the fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until they are warm and crispy again.

Tips to Make Golden Peach Fritters

Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying. If it’s too cool, the fritters will be greasy.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet while frying to ensure even cooking.
Feel free to use other fruits such as apples or berries if you want to change up the flavor.

Variation

You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for an extra layer of warmth and flavor. If you want a healthier option, try baking the fritters instead of frying.
