Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we get cooking, here’s what you’ll need to gather up for this treat:
- 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- Vegetable oil for frying (you can even use coconut oil if you’re feeling fancy)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (because, let’s face it, everything’s better with a little sugar!)
Steps to Create These Mouthwatering Fritters
- Mix it Up! In a mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make sure it’s well combined—let’s not skip on that flavor!
- Get Wet! In another bowl, whisk the milk and egg until it’s all smooth and happy.
- Combine Forces! Pour your wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix them together until everything is just combined—don’t go overboard, we’re not making glue here!
- Peach It Up! Gently fold in those lovely diced peaches. At this point, you might want to take a sneak taste—trust me, I won’t judge!
- Heat Things Up! In a deep fryer or large pot, heat your vegetable oil over medium heat until hot. (Just a friendly reminder: be safe, friends. Hot oil can be tricky!)
- Fry, Baby, Fry! Drop spoonfuls of your batter into the hot oil. Fry until they’re golden brown on all sides—about 3-4 minutes. Can you smell that? Heaven!
- Drain and Dust! After frying, place the fritters on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Now, dust them generously with powdered sugar. Let it snow, let it snow!
- Serve and Savor! Enjoy your Fresh Peach Fritters warm and fresh. Grab a plate and dig in—your family will be applauding your kitchen skills!
Cooking Tips for Success
- Don’t worry if your batter feels a bit lumpy. It’s not a beauty contest; it’s all part of the charm!
- If the kids (or you) aren’t huge fans of peaches, switch it up! Try apples or berries. The world is your fritter!

Absolutely! You can use other fruits like diced apples or berries if fresh peaches aren’t available. Just stay close to the same measurements.

If you happen to have any leftover (which is rare in my house!), store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a day or two. Just reheat them in a pan if you want that fresh-fried taste again!
