Peach Fritters with Honey Cinnamon Glaze

When fresh peaches are at the farmers market, and it's too damn hot to turn the oven on, you make Peach Fritters with Honey Cinnamon Glaze! And they are so good, you can't even come up with words for how good they are.

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 Teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1/8 Teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 large fresh peaches (about 2 cups, diced)
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 1 Large egg

Honey Cinnamon Icing:
• 1 cup Powder Sugar
• 3 Tablespoon Honey
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2-3 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine all the dry ingredients first; flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Give it a little whisk. Add peaches, milk, vanilla, and the egg to dry mixture. Then stir well until combined.
2. Heat oil to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, gently drop a large spoonful (about half a ladle) into the sizzling oil. (I did 3 at a time to make sure they weren't crowded in a deep skillet). Frying until they’re golden brown on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Place paper towels on plate under a wire rack. Remove fritters to wire rack to start cooling.
4. While those are cooling a couple minutes, in a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon, and milk or cream to combine. Add more milk or cream as needed to make the glaze "drizzly". Drizzle each fritter with the glaze, and serve immediately.
