With the end of Summer days comes the bounty of fresh peaches. At this time each year you will find my freezer full of peaches, just waiting to be turned into something delicious. Smoothies, Jams, Pie filling and of course Peach Fritters! These little gems combine three of my favorite desserts into one,~peach pie, peach cobbler and doughnuts. Give them a try and see if you agree with me, that they are FABULOUS!
Peach Pie Fritters
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Eggs~ beaten
1/3 Cup Milk
2 Tablespoon Butter~ melted
1 1/4 Cup Fresh Peaches~ diced
Glaze~
3 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3-5 Tablespoons Milk
Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in beaten eggs, milk and melted butter mixing until smooth. Fold in fresh diced peaches, cover and chill while you are heating you oil. When the oil is ready drop scoops of batter carefully into the hot oil. *I like to use a 2 inch cookie scoop. The dough will fall to the bottom of the oil and will rise to float on the surface. Cook each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on the temperature of the oil, the longer you cook the hotter it will become, even while on the same heat setting. Place cooked fritters onto a paper towel to drain any excess oil. place on a wire rack to cool completely. While the fritters are cooling, mix together your vanilla glaze in a small bowl by whisking together all the ingredients. Start with adding 3 TBSP of milk and add more until you reach your desired consistency. Dip each fritter top into the glaze. I also like to sprinkle on a little bit of cinnamon/sugar. ~ Happy Fall Baking! Lark
