Fluffy, soft, moist and loaded with fresh peaches…Peach Fritters!
The recipe is very easy to make. After the ingredients are measured out and the peaches are peeled and diced it literally just takes minutes to put the recipe together. Let’s gather the ingredients and make this delicious treat together.
Peach Fritter Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 Teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons white sugar
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1 1/4 cups diced peaches ( I used 2 fresh peaches which came to a little over 1 1/4 cups peaches
Oil for frying in a pan or a deep fryer
Powdered Sugar Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
milk, enough to make a drizzling consistency
Place the flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter into the flour ingredients until they are well combined.
Peach Fritters Steps
Fold the peeled, pitted and cubed peaches into the batter. Set the batter aside for a minute while we heat the oil up to fry the fritters.
You can use a frying pan or an electric fryer with oil if you have one. My favorite way to fry them is using a medium size saucepan, but I really should give in and buy an electric fryer.
I fill the saucepan will oil, half way up the pan. I heat the oil to hot and then drop 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup batter into the hot oil. The batter will sink at first and then rise to the top of the oil. Cook the batter for 2 – 3 minutes, depending on the size of the fritters. While they are frying flip them over a couple times if need be to get a nice golden color on both sides of the fritter.
Remove the fritters from the hot oil with long handled tongs. Quickly drain the fritters on paper towels. You have two options to coat the fritters. You can either have a bowl of granulated sugar ready to coat them in after they are fried and drained or make a simple glaze with confectioners sugar and milk.
Things to Keep in Mind
You’ll notice there’s no confectioners sugar amount in the recipe to make the glaze. Just put confectioners sugar in a bowl, add as little or as much milk as you want to the confectioners sugar to get the drizzling consistency you want. It’s really just that easy to make. If you add a tad more milk than you wanted to, just add a little more confectioners sugar to the bowl and stir it in until it’s the consistency you were looking for. Place the Peach Fritters on a wire rack and drizzle the fritters with the glaze.
Now while you have those “just make” Peach Fritters on hand, try making yourself a Peach Fritter Sundae darlin, (peach fritters, vanilla ice cream, maybe a sprinkle of pecans and caramel sauce) you”ll love it. Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters, use those fresh peaches while you’ve got them to make this delicious easy treat! ENJOY!

Have you heard of anyone trying them with gluten free flour?? Haven’t done/tried frying with GF flour.
Lisa I’ve never used gluten free flour in anything. If you make them that way please come back and tell me how it went.
what kind of oil do you use, and how many inches high do you put in oil? Thank you.
Hi hi I can’t what to make these!! For using fresh peaches would I need to peel them first {it’s always so hard} 😉
Yes Tiffany you have to peel them, but if you put each peach into boiling water for just a minute or two the skins come right off.
Fantastic! These were a huge hit with my group of friends. I had some leftover peach simple syrup (homemade) from making peach bread, so I put that together with confectioners sugar to make the glaze.
Oh that sounds so good Alyssa, simple peach syrup made into a glaze!! I love the way your confectionary mind works!!
Hi I made these fresh peach fritters for the first time today 8/14/16 and I was very disappointed. They didn’t get cooked in the middle I even cooked them over the 2 to 3 minutes @350 + and I think that was even too hot because they got really dark instead of your beautiful golden brown. and then when I took them out and drain them and open 2 up not one of them that I opened we’re done. I don’t know if it’s because I doubled the recipe. Or because of the amount of baking powder they just puffed up like a ball and didn’t get done. I’m not sure because I had to double the baking powder so I think if I make these next time I’m going to use less baking powder. tonight I’ll put the ones I made in the oven to bake them and see if they finish cooking I’ll leave out the extra baking powder
I’ve never doubled the recipe Carol,but you might have nailed it thinking it was the baking powder. I hope you try them again!
I am still frying the last of these up. I have to tell you I tried an apple fritter recipe and it wasn’t good. So I was hesitant to try a new “fritter” recipe. However, I absolutely love these. Thanks for sharing. I will use this recipe for my apple fritters as well.
Well now I’m going to have to try this with apples Nancy! Thank you for coming back to say you made the fritters and that you made them your way with APPLES!
I can’t wait to try out these! Looking at the pictures has got my mouth watering!
Thanks.
You’ll love the fritters Vivian!
Hello Bunny,
Can this recipe be baked instead of fried?
No Kris, they really need to be fried.
hi! how much oil should i use? while frying should i flip them to the other side?
Sylvia enough oil so they float a little bit in the pan (like doughnuts would float) and yes then you can turn them over.
around how many inchs of oil? i never deep fried before lol
About 2 inches Sylvia, just enough so the dough floats and isn’t laying on the bottom of the pan.
thank u 🙂
Hi Bunny! The flour, self rising or all purpose? I see some baking powder as well and that usually means all purpose. Thanks!!
You got it Larry, all purpose.
Just made these to go along with our Memorial day breakfast. Everyone loved it! Probably should have made more because all the peach fritters were devoured 😊 Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome Jenelle!! Thank you for coming back to tell me!
I would like to take them Sunday morning as I am in charge of treats for Sunday school class. Can I put the batter in the frig and get up early and fry them?
Jo i’d say make the batter, cut the peaches up but don’t put them together until you make them.
Oh my pants! Just made these and my husband and I each downed 4 with hardly a breath inbetween! Delicious!
LOL!! Fantastic Kirby, I love it! Thanks for coming back to tell me you made them.
What type of oil is best to use for these?
Hi Mary Ann, regular vegetable oil works just fine.
Bunny, how many fritters does this recipe yield??
Kimberly I forgot to write the recipe yield in the recipe, and worse I don’t remember how many it made! It will depend on what you use to measure the batter out with, but I’m going to guess was about 7 – 10.
I LOVE fritters. we’re going to buy peaches to can next week so will try this too. I’ve made doughnuts before so I should be able to do the fritters. I don’t imagine they’ll even get a chance to get cold–my husband and I will eat them!!!
You’ll love them Vera, you may have to make a double batch, one for you and one for hubby! Let me know how it goes for you, would love to hear.
Those are some good recipes
Thank you Cassie!
Could you add a handful of blueberries with the peaches?
That would be a great combination Missy! Maybe cut back on the peaches a little, then whatever amount of peaches you cut replace it with the same amount of blueberries. Let me know how it goes Missy!
Could you use frozen peaches for this? Maybe if they were drained?
Yes Sherlyn, but as you said, drain them really well before putting in the batter and frying. Let me know how it goes for you!
Do you blanch the peaches first to remove the skins or just leave the skins on?
Blanch or peel them Debb, which ever you prefer.
