How to Make Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps for warm, golden, glazed fritters that taste like they’re straight from a bakery.
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, mix the heavy whipping cream, yogurt, and egg until smooth. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined don’t overmix.
Drain the diced peaches and reserve the juice for the glaze. Gently fold the peaches into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 2: Heat the Oil
In a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy fritters need the right temp for that crispy finish!
Step 3: Fry the Fritters
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, carefully drop mounds of batter into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan work in batches. Fry each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed.
Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 4: Make the Peach Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and 3–6 teaspoons of the reserved peach juice until smooth and pourable. Start with 3 teaspoons and adjust for desired thickness.
Step 5: Glaze and Serve
Drizzle or dip the warm fritters in the peach glaze and let set for a minute. Serve immediately and enjoy the Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters while they’re still warm and crisp.
Pro Tips for Perfect Peach Fritters
- Don’t skip the glaze! It adds a beautiful peachy sweetness that brings everything together.
- Use a thermometer. Oil temperature is key for a crispy, non-greasy fritter.
- Substitute yogurt. Greek yogurt or sour cream works beautifully if you don’t have vanilla yogurt on hand.
- Fresh peaches? Go for it! Just dice and toss them in with a little sugar if they’re not super ripe.
Storage and Reheating
These fritters are best eaten fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven at 325°F (160°C) for 8–10 minutes to bring back that crispy texture.
FAQs About Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters
Can I use fresh peaches instead of canned?
Absolutely! Just dice about 1½ cups of fresh peaches and use them in place of the canned ones. You’ll need another liquid like milk or water for the glaze if you skip the canned juice.
Can these fritters be made ahead of time?
You can prepare the batter a few hours ahead and refrigerate it. Fry and glaze them right before serving for best texture.
Are these fritters freezer-friendly?
Not really. They’re best enjoyed fresh. The moisture from the peaches makes them less ideal for freezing.
Can I bake instead of fry?
You could, but you’ll miss out on the classic crispy texture. For a lighter option, try using an air fryer at 375°F for 7–8 minutes per side.
