FAQs
Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Ingredients
Fritters Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 large egg
Fruit
- 2 fresh peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
For Frying
- Vegetable oil (for frying, about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and egg. Whisk together until you get a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
- Fold in peaches: Gently fold the diced fresh peaches into the batter, making sure the fruit pieces are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.

- If desired, dust the fritters with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
- Ensure the oil temperature is consistent to avoid greasy fritters.
- These fritters are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven for a short period.
