Servings: 6

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

 

Quickly comes together and can be done with most fruits.

Feel free to be creative with spices or flavors. Don’t overmix the batter or it can get tough.

 

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 pinch cinnamon, or nutmeg

1 each egg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1/3 cup milk, or buttermilk

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1 cup peach,fresh, diced with juices

 

Stir dry ingredients together in medium bowl. Add milk, egg, vanilla, and oil.

Peel and dice peaches saving juices to add into batter. Can use apples, plums, figs, etc.

Blend in fruit and let rest a couple minutes. Add more flour so batter is thick enough to spoon into frying oil if the fruit is juicy.

Use large tablespoon and spoon batter into oil that is at 375 F.

Do not overcrowd the oil and fry for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil with slotted spoon or spider and drain on screen or paper towels.

Cool slightly then toss in cinnamon sugar or dust well with confectioners sugar.

They will be crispy out of fryer but will become softer as they cool but still fluffy inside. Yield: 12 pieces
