How do I keep fritters crispy after frying?

To maintain crispiness, let fritters cool on a wire rack instead of a plate. Avoid covering them immediately or storing them in sealed containers while still warm, as steam will soften the texture. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to refresh their crunch.

Can I make peach fritters ahead of time?

What type of oil is best for frying fritters?

Use a neutral, high-smoke point oil like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Avoid olive oil or butter, as they burn quickly and can affect flavor.
