Ingredients
Scale
- 3 medium peaches (chopped, reserve any juice)
- 500 ml oil for frying
- 1/2 cup sour cream (or yogurt)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar (for glaze)
- 1 tbsp milk (for glaze)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (or reserved peach juice)
Instructions
- Begin by chopping the peaches into small pieces. Reserve any juice that escapes during chopping as it will enhance the flavor of your fritters.
- In a deep frying pan or large pot, pour in the oil. Heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test if it's ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sour cream (or yogurt), milk, egg, melted butter, and reserved peach juice. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Once your oil is hot, using a slotted spoon or tablespoon, drop dollops of batter into the oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides—about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove fritters using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix confectioner’s sugar with milk and vanilla extract (or reserved peach juice) until smooth. Drizzle over warm fritters before serving.
