Description
These easy and delicious 3 Ingredient Peach Fritters are a perfect treat made with vanilla yogurt, self-rising flour, and fresh peaches. Fried to golden perfection, they are fluffy and bursting with natural peach flavor, ideal for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
Fritters
- 1.5 cups (360g) vanilla whole milk yogurt (or more as needed)
- 2 cups (270g) self-rising flour
- 1 cup (162g) chopped peaches, about ½ inch cubes
- Vegetable oil, for frying (2 inches deep)
Instructions
- Prepare the oil: Add 2 inches of vegetable oil to a medium saucepan or pot and heat to 350°F (177°C) over medium heat. Maintaining the correct temperature is key for proper frying.
- Make the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla yogurt and self-rising flour. Mix with a spatula until you have a smooth, thick batter with no lumps. If the batter feels more dough-like, add an additional 1/4 cup yogurt to reach a thick, wet batter consistency. Fold in the chopped peaches gently to coat them in the batter, preventing them from burning during frying.
- Fry the fritters: Once the oil is hot, carefully measure 1/3 cup of batter for each fritter. Use a spoon or small spatula to help release the thick batter into the oil, spreading it slightly in a circular motion. Fry in small batches (2-3 at a time) to avoid overcrowding and temperature drop. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for optimal frying.
- Cook until golden: Fry the fritters for about 5-6 minutes total, flipping halfway through until they are dark golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Remove them from the oil and place onto a wire rack to drain and cool slightly.
- Serve and store: Enjoy the fritters warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with a glaze. Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer and reheat before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer a healthier option, the fritters can be baked or air fried—see the recipe notes on the original post for those instructions.
- Use self-rising flour for best results as it includes baking powder and salt; if unavailable, make your own by mixing all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt.
- Ensure peaches are fresh and chopped into ½ inch cubes to provide bursts of sweetness in the fritters.
- Maintain a consistent oil temperature of 350°F to avoid greasy or undercooked fritters.
- Optional glaze can be made by mixing powdered sugar with a little milk or lemon juice for drizzling.
- Leftover fritters keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
