Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole (ripe, diced) Peach
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for drizzling) Honey
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches and ricotta cheese. Mix gently to ensure even distribution without mashing the peaches. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold the ricotta and peach mixture into the batter, being careful not to overmix to preserve the chunky texture.
In a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the temperature for optimal frying.
Using a tablespoon or small scoop, carefully drop dollops of the batter into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Continue frying the remaining batter, making sure the oil maintains a steady temperature.
Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar and drizzle with honey, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
