These Fresh Peach Fritters are a delightful treat featuring juicy diced peaches folded into a lightly sweetened batter, then fried to golden perfection. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they make a perfect warm dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
