Deep-Fried Peach Fritters with Whipped Cream and Raspberries

Ingredients

Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil

Filling:
- 3 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon sugar

For Frying:
- Peanut oil for deep frying

Toppings:
- Fresh whipped cream
- Fresh raspberries
- Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon of sea salt. Stir to combine evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the large egg and mix with ½ cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of peanut oil. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a smooth batter is formed.

2. Prepare the Filling:
- In another bowl, mix the diced peaches with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon sugar. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

3. Combine and Rest:
- Fold the peach mixture gently into the batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to absorb flavors and ensure smooth, airy fritters.

4. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat peanut oil to 360°F. Use a candy thermometer to maintain consistent temperature.

5. Deep Fry the Fritters:
- Once the oil is hot, use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry each fritter for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fritters and drain them on paper towels.

6. Serve:
- Serve warm with a dollop of fresh whipped cream, a handful of fresh raspberries, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
