Peach fritters are a delicious dessert that mixes the tender, sweet peaches with a crunchy, golden outside. These fritters come from traditional American fair food. They are a great way to savor ripe peaches, especially in the summer when they are at their best. Great for dessert or a tasty snack, peach fritters bring back memories and comfort, making them a must for those who enjoy mixing fresh fruit with delicious pastry.
These new peach pastries go well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a bit of warm caramel sauce. You can also eat them with a fresh and tangy fruit salad for a well-rounded dessert. If you want something easier, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful and cozy afternoon snack.
Peach Fritters Serves: 4-6 people
List of items needed to make a recipe.
2 cups of regular flour
1/4 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
2 big eggs
3/4 of a cup of whole milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring
4 ripe peaches, with skin and pit removed, cut into small pieces.
Oil for frying vegetables
Powdered sugar to sprinkle on top.
Instructions
In a big bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In a different bowl, whisk the eggs, then pour in the milk and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is mixed well.
Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones, stirring until they are well combined. Be cautious not to mix too much.
4. Carefully mix in the chopped peaches until they are spread evenly.
In a large frying pan or pot, warm up the vegetable oil on medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Carefully place small amounts of the batter into the hot oil and fry a few at a time. Don’t put too much in the pan.
Cook the fritters in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
8. With a spoon with holes, move the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove extra oil.
After frying all the fritters and letting them cool a bit, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.
Different Types and Advice
For a fun variation, consider adding some blueberries or raspberries to the batter to make a mixed fruit fritter. You can also try using different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to make the taste better. If you want a lighter fritter, use half whole wheat flour and half regular flour. To make a gluten-free version, use an equal amount of gluten-free baking flour blend.
