Calories 252kcal

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
pinch ground nutmeg
2/3 cup milk
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 tablespoon butter melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups peaches peeled and chopped (about 1/4" inch size or so)
6 cups vegetable oil for frying (may need more or less depeding on the pot you use to fry the fritters in).

Heat oil in a large pot. Use enough oil that there’s about 2 ½ inches-3 inches in the pot. Oil should be 350°F with an instant read thermometer.
In a small bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the chopped peaches. Don’t overmix.
Using a ¼ cup or a large cookie scoop, dollop the batter into the hot oil, cooking 2-3 at a time. Cook the fritters, turning them over so both sides cook, about 2-3 minutes per side for a total of about 4-5 minutes. Fritters should be a deep golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to scoop the fritters out of the oil. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel lined plate.
Let the fritters cool slightly, then dip in the glaze so that they are coated on all sides. Set the glazed fritters on a cooling rack. Let the glaze set and then serve. Best if eaten the same day they are made.

When frying the fritters be sure to check the temperature of the oil. The oil should stay around 350°F.

The fritters should be a deep brown color. This will ensure the centers are fully cooked.
