We had a case of lovely O'Henry peaches and a fryer with leftover oil. Put two and two together and created this warm variation on various fruit fritter recipes. Kids loved 'em!

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

vegetable oil for frying
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
3 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 egg
1 cup peeled and diced fresh peaches, or more to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together in a bowl. Beat cream, vanilla yogurt, and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth. Pour flour mixture into cream mixture and mix until a sticky dough forms; fold in peaches.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough, working in batches, into the hot oil and fry until fritters are golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove fritters with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
