Making Peach Fritters, a sweet fried dough, is a perfect way to use-up the rest of those summer peaches.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1-1/4 cups diced peaches
- granulated sugar in flat-sided bowl
- oil for fryer or deep frying pan
Preparation:
With a wire whip, combine flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk in eggs, milk and butter. Fold in peaches.
Heat oil in fryer or pan to 375 degrees F. With long handled ladle, ladle about 1/4 -1/2 cup batter into hot oil. The batter will sink at first and then rise. Cook for about 2 - 3 minutes, depending on size of fritters. Remove fritters from oil with long-handled tongs. Quickly drain on paper towels or newspaper. Then place fritter in bowl of sugar. Coat both sides. Place on serving plate. Serve warm.
