Ingredients

• 4 Fresh peaches
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and peel the peaches. Slice them into halves and remove the pits. For smaller pieces, you can quarter the peaches.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients while whisking, forming a smooth, slightly thick batter. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Step 5

Pat the peach slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This ensures better adhesion of the batter.

Step 6

Dip each peach slice into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.

Step 7

Carefully lower a few coated peach slices into the hot oil (do not overcrowd the pot). Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried peaches and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining peach slices until all are cooked.

Step 10

Optional: Mix powdered sugar and ground cinnamon together in a small bowl. Dust the deep-fried peaches with the mixture for added sweetness and spice.

Step 11

Serve warm, either plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
