How to Make Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters

Ingredients:

2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup whole milk
Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions:

Prepare the peaches by washing, peeling, and dicing them into bite-sized chunks.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg and mix in the milk. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; keep the batter lumpy.
Gently fold in the peach pieces.
Heat about two inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar while warm.

How to Serve Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters

Serve the fritters warm, dusted with cinnamon sugar for an extra touch of sweetness. They pair nicely with a cup of coffee or tea. You could also serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert!

How to Store Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters

Store any leftover fritters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. If you need to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each fritter in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to a month. To reheat, simply warm them in an oven for a few minutes.

Tips to Make Delicious Fresh Peach Fritters

Make sure not to overmix the batter; keeping it lumpy helps create a light texture.
Adjust the cinnamon to your taste, adding more or less depending on your preference.
For an extra fruity flavor, feel free to add a bit of vanilla extract to the batter.

Variation

You can easily mix it up by adding other fruits, such as diced apples or blueberries, along with the peaches. This creates a delicious fruity medley in each fritter!

FAQs

1. Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned peaches. Just make sure to drain them well and cut them into small pieces.

2. What oil is best for frying fritters?
Vegetable oil is great for frying fritters, but you can also use canola oil or peanut oil for a different flavor.

3. Can I bake these fritters instead of frying?
While baking is possible, frying gives the fritters their traditional crispy texture. If you prefer to bake, try a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until golden brown, but keep an eye on them!
