Peach is one of my favorite fruit and I love them in any form. I even had peach craving during my pregnancy and the smell of this fruit drives me crazy Whenever this fruit is fresh and succulent and on sale, I buy them in big batches. I have almost tried all the recipes that I can do with this fruit. The good and happy part is my little one also loves this fruit and accompanies me with his cute smile in sharing the same.

I love making apple fritters at home. But with little one’s activities we hardly get time for anything. So for a change we recently got some apple fritters from a local bakery. We really had a very bad experience. It’s either too sweet, too oily or not fresh. So we decided not to buy anymore and make it at home.

Ingredients

Peaches chopped – 3 (medium sized)
Sour cream – 1/2 cup
Whole milk – 1/2 cup
Baking powder – 2 tsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Egg – 1
Sugar – 3 tbsp
Cinnamon powder – 1/2 tsp
All purpose flour – 1 1/2 cup
Melted butter – 2 tbsp
Vegetable oil – for frying
Confectioners sugar – 1/2 cup
Milk -1 tbsp

Method

* Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan on a medium flame for frying, while preparing the batter.

* In a big bowl, add in sour cream and whole milk and whisk.

* Next add baking powder, salt, egg, sugar, cinnamon powder and beat till everything comes together.

* To this add flour, melted butter and mix until combined. Do not over mix. Next, add peaches and fold them into the batter using a spatula.

* The consistency of the batter will be similar to any cake batter – not too dry and not too runny – but in between.

* Once the oil is hot, drop 1 or 2 heaped tablespoon of batter and fry till they are golden brown on both the sides for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

* Fry in smaller batches so that they are not over crowded and are cooked evenly.

* Transfer it to paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Let this cool for about 10 minutes.

* Meanwhile prepare the glaze : in a bowl, add confectioner’s sugar and milk and whisk it so that there are no lumps.

* Drizzle this glaze on each fritter.

* Peach Fritters are now ready. Serve and enjoy.
