Tools You’ll Need

• Medium mixing bowls

• Whisk and spatula

• Frying pan or Dutch oven

• Candy thermometer

• Slotted spoon or tongs

• Paper towels & cooling rack

Ingredient Swaps & Additions

• Peaches: Use fresh or thawed frozen peaches if you prefer—just dice them and pat dry

• Spice it up: A dash of cardamom or allspice makes these extra aromatic

Step-by-Step: How to Make Peach Fritters

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together:

• 1 cup flour

• 1 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp ginger

• ¼ tsp salt

• A pinch of nutmeg

Set aside.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together:

• ¼ cup heavy cream

• 3 oz vanilla yogurt

• 1 large egg

Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until just combined.

Step 3: Fold in the Peaches

Gently fold in your diced peaches until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick and lumpy—that’s perfect.

Step 4: Fry the Fritters

Fill a frying pan halfway with oil and heat to 375°F. Use a ¼ cup measure to drop scoops of batter into the hot oil.

Fry 2–4 minutes per side, or until deep golden brown. Flip carefully, and check the center with a knife to ensure there’s no raw batter.

Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined rack to cool.

Step 5: Make the Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together:

• 1¼ cups powdered sugar

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

• 3–6 tsp peach juice (add slowly until pourable)

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fritters and let it set for a few minutes… if you can wait that long. 😉

What to Serve with Peach Fritters

• Fresh whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt

• A hot cup of coffee or cold brew

• Fresh berries on the side

• Sparkling peach lemonade for a summer brunch twist

Tips for Fritter Success

• Use a candy thermometer to keep your oil at 375°F—too hot, they’ll burn outside before cooking inside

• Don’t crowd the pan—fry in batches

• Let fritters cool slightly before glazing so it doesn’t all melt off

• For extra crispiness, let them rest on a wire rack, not just paper towels

Storage Instructions

• Best fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day

• To reheat: Warm in a 300°F oven for 5–7 minutes or in the microwave for 10–15 seconds

• Freezing: Not recommended, as the texture won’t hold up well after thawing

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh or frozen peaches instead of canned?

Yes! Just dice them and pat dry with paper towels before folding into the batter.

My fritters are raw inside—what happened?

The oil may be too hot. Use a thermometer to keep it steady at 375°F, and make sure the fritters aren’t too thick.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Fritters are best fried for that crispy exterior, but you could try baking at 375°F on a greased sheet for about 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway. Texture will differ.
