Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Homemade Peach Fritters
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches with lemon juice, tossing gently to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, kosher salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, milk, and almond extract until smooth.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until just combined, then fold in the peach mixture.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
  6. Drop the batter into the hot oil, frying 2-3 fritters at a time for about 2-4 minutes on each side.
  7. Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioner's sugar, almond extract, and enough milk or water to reach desired glaze consistency. Drizzle over warm fritters.
