Ingredients
Fritters
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ginger
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup (60 g) heavy whipping cream
- 3 ounces vanilla yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 can (15.25 ounces) peaches, diced and juice reserved for glaze
- Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
Glaze
- 1¼ cups (150 g) confectioners' sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- 3-6 teaspoons reserved peach juice, (optional)
Instructions
Peach Fritters
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the whipping cream, yogurt, and egg.
- Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until combined.
- Fold in the peaches.
- Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
- Slowly drop ¼ cup of batter into the oil and let fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side depending on the heat of your oil.
- Flip and fry until the opposite side is golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a small knife (or toothpick) into the center. If there's still uncooked batter in the center, fry for a bit longer. Transfer to a paper towel-lined cooling rack and let cool. Repeat with the remaining batter being sure to check the temperature of the oil throughout the process.
Glaze
- Make the glaze by combining the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and 3 teaspoons of peach juice. Add more juice, 1 teaspoon at a time, until a pourable consistency is reached.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fritters and let dry.
