  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 fritters 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Preparation

  • 3 ripe fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (for peaches)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for peaches)

Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frying

  • Vegetable oil, for frying (enough for deep frying)

Bourbon Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Peel, pit, and dice ripe peaches into bite-sized chunks. Toss them gently with 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to enhance their natural sweetness and spice.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk 1/2 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  3. Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold the prepared peach chunks into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated but not overmixed to maintain a light texture.
  4. Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C) to achieve a crisp, golden finish without greasiness.
  5. Fry the Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  6. Make the Bourbon Glaze: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons bourbon, and a pinch of salt until the glaze is smooth and glossy.
  7. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the warm bourbon glaze over the fritters and serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for juicier, more flavorful fritters.
  • Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked fritters.
  • Mix the batter until just combined to keep fritters tender and light.
  • Adjust bourbon and powdered sugar amounts to achieve preferred glaze thickness.
  • Fritters are best served fresh and warm for optimal crispness.
