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)
- 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.
- Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). The oil should be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- Fry the fritters: Using a spoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the peach batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fritters using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm peaches to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
- 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.
