- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Frying and Topping:

Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a spacious mixing vessel, creating a uniform dry mixture.
- Whisk milk, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter in a separate container until thoroughly integrated.
- Gently incorporate wet ingredients into dry components, stirring minimally to prevent toughening the batter.
- Delicately fold diced peaches into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
- Prepare a deep skillet or fryer, heating oil to precisely 350F (175C) for optimal frying temperature.
- Carefully deposit small clusters of batter into the sizzling oil, maintaining adequate spacing between fritters.
- Monitor cooking process, allowing fritters to transform into a rich golden-brown hue, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Extract fritters using a perforated utensil, positioning them on absorbent paper towels to eliminate excess oil.
- Craft a silky glaze by whisking powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until achieving a smooth, lustrous consistency.
- Embellish warm fritters by drizzling or immersing them in the prepared glaze, permitting a slight setting before serving.
Notes
- Choose ripe, juicy peaches for maximum flavor and sweetness in your fritters.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the fritters light and tender, preventing tough texture.
- Pat peaches dry before adding to batter to prevent excess moisture and ensure crispy edges.
- If you’re gluten-sensitive, swap wheat flour with a gluten-free blend for an inclusive version of the recipe.
