Ingredients
  

Fritters Batter
  • 2 cups fresh peaches, peeled and diced Use sweet, ripe peaches for best flavor.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
Serving
  • Powdered sugar for serving Dust before serving for a perfect finish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling and dicing the fresh peaches into about 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until evenly blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well mixed.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Gently fold the diced peaches into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or pot, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is ready, drop a small spoonful of batter into the oil; if it bubbles and rises to the surface, you're good to go.
  2. Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar immediately.
Serving
  1. Enjoy your Fresh Peach Fritters warm, with your favorite toppings!

Notes

For peach substitutions, you can use canned peaches (drained) or substitute them with fresh nectarines or apricots. Ensure your oil is hot enough to achieve a crispy exterior. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
