Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

All-purpose flour

Granulated sugar

Baking powder

Ground cinnamon

Ground ginger

Kosher salt

Ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients:

Heavy whipping cream

Vanilla yogurt

Large egg

Add-ins:

Fresh peaches, peeled and diced

For frying:

Vegetable or canola oil

Glaze:

Confectioners’ sugar

Vanilla extract

Peach juice (optional, reserved from peaches)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg.

  • In another bowl, beat together the heavy cream, vanilla yogurt, and egg until smooth.

  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients just until mixed. Fold in the diced peaches gently.

  • Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 375°F (190°C).

  • Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook each fritter for about 5 minutes, turning to brown evenly.

  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  • For the glaze, whisk together confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and peach juice (if using) until smooth.

  • Drizzle the glaze over warm fritters. Let set before serving.

Notes

  • Swap fresh peaches for apples, blueberries, or nectarines.

  • Use sour cream instead of yogurt for a richer texture.

  • Add chopped nuts for extra crunch.

  • Dust with powdered sugar instead of glaze for a lighter finish.

  • Add a splash of bourbon to the glaze for an adult twist.

  • Best enjoyed fresh; avoid freezing for texture preservation.
