Ingredients:
1 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 eggs
1/3 c. milk
1 Tbsp. melted butter
1 1/4 c. diced peaches (about 2 fresh peaches)
Granulated sugar in a flat-sided bowl or a powdered sugar glaze
Oil for frying
GLAZE OPTION:
1 c. powdered sugar
Milk, enough to make a drizzling consistency

Glaze directions:
Whisk the milk and powdered sugar together until the desired drizzling consistency.  Set aside until ready to use.

Directions:
Using a whisk combine flour, salt, sugar, cinnamon and baking powder.  Whisk in eggs, milk and butter.  Fold in peaches.

Heat oil in fryer or pan to 375 degrees.  With a long handled ladle, ladle about 1/4-1/2 c. batter into hot oil.  The batter will sink at first and then rise.  Cook for about 2-3 minutes, depending on the size of the fritters.  Remove fritters from oil with long-handled tongs.  Quickly drain on paper towels or newspaper.  Then place fritter in bowl of sugar or glaze the fritters.  Coat with sugar on both sides or glaze the tops of the fritters.
