2. Whisk milk, eggs and vanilla together. Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and nutmeg. Fold in peaches; add melted butter.
3. With cookie scoop, scoop batter into hot oil. The batter will sink and then rise. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes until golden brown, depending on size of fritters. Remove fritters from oil; drain on paper; glaze.
