Peach Fritters
 
Makes about 18
Ingredients
  • 1⅔ cups self-rising flour
  • ¾ cup sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ cup whole buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for frying
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chopped fresh peaches
Instructions
  1. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, ¼ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well in center. Add buttermilk, egg, oil, and vanilla; stir until moistened. Stir in peaches.
  3. In a large Dutch oven, pour oil to a depth of 2 inches, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°.
  4. Working in batches, using a 1½-tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, carefully drop batter into hot oil. Fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through center, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from oil using a slotted spoon, and let drain on prepared pan.
  5. In another large bowl, whisk together remaining ½ cup sugar and remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Toss warm fritters in sugar mixture. Serve warm.
