INGREDIENTS
2 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
2 large eggs
1 cup flour
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Canola oil, for frying
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
Beat in eggs, milk and melted butter and vanilla, and mix until just combined, then gently fold in peaches.
Heat 2-3 inches oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat to approximately 375º F.
In a medium bowl, pour 3 tablespoons milk into 1 cup powdered sugar to make glaze. Whisk together until smooth, adding more milk for a thinner glaze, less for a thick one.
Using a long-handled spoon, carefully lower 1/3 cup batter into hot oil (it will sink) and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until fritter rises to the surface of oil and is golden brown.
Using a slotted spoon, remove fritters from oil and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Drizzle glaze over the fritters and serve immediately!
