- Using a ladle, drop about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter into the hot oil. Don’t overcrowd the pan!
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Drain the fritters on paper towels, then toss them in granulated sugar or drizzle with a powdered sugar glaze while still warm.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
- Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor.
- Don’t overmix the batter—it should still be slightly lumpy.
- Let the oil reach the right temperature before frying for the fluffiest results.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if necessary.
