Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 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 heavy whipping cream
  • 3 ounces vanilla yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 can peaches, diced 15.25 ounces, juice reserved for glaze
  • Vegetable or canola oil for frying
  • 1¼ cups confectioners' sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
  • 3-6 teaspoons reserved peach juice optional

Equipment

  • Frying pan
  • whisk
  • mixing bowls
  • Candy thermometer
  • paper towels

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together the whipping cream, yogurt, and egg.
  3. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until combined.
  4. Fold in the peaches.
  5. Fill a frying pan halfway with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 375°F with a candy thermometer.
  6. 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.
  7. Flip and fry until the opposite side is golden brown. To test for doneness, insert a small knife 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled fritters and let dry.
