Step-by-Step Instructions for Fresh Peach Fritters
  1. Prepare Peaches: Peel the fresh peaches and dice them into small pieces, about half an inch in size. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Make Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently, and then fold in the diced peaches.
  3. Heat Oil: Pour about two inches of vegetable or canola oil into a deep frying pan and heat over medium-high until it reaches 350°F.
  4. Fry Fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the frying pan, frying 2-3 fritters at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Drain: Remove fritters from oil with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
  6. Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over warm fritters.
