Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• vegetable oil for frying
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 3 ounces vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup peeled and diced fresh peaches, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a bowl. Beat cream, vanilla yogurt, and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour flour mixture into cream mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms; fold in peaches.

Step 3

Drop spoonfuls of the dough, working in batches, into the hot oil and fry until fritters are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
