Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon.
Add the eggs, milk, and melted butter, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Gently fold in the diced peaches until evenly distributed.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pan to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully drop 1/4 to 1/2 cup portions of batter into the hot oil using a ladle.
Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning if needed, until the fritters are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the fritters with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
For a sugar coating, roll the warm fritters in granulated sugar.
For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough milk to create a smooth drizzling consistency.
Drizzle the glaze over the fritters and serve warm.

Notes

Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth and spice.

A splash of vanilla extract enhances the flavor of the batter.

Nectarines, apricots, pears, or apples can be substituted for peaches.

Keep the oil at 375°F to prevent greasy fritters.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes to restore crispness.

Freeze cooled fritters for up to 2 months.
