Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 6 | Peaches (blanched, peeled) |
| 1/4 cup | Flour |
| 1 1/4 cup | Flour (for batter) |
| 4 | Sugar |
| 4 | Coconut |
| 4 | Graham cracker crumbs |
| 1 tsp | Cinnamon |
| 1 tsp | Ginger |
| 1 tsp | Double-acting baking powder |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1 cup | Milk |
| 1 – 1 1/3 | Canola oil |
Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the peaches. Ensure they are blanched and peeled. Then, roll each peach in the 1/4 cup of flour, coating them evenly.
-
In a large bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups of flour, sugar, coconut, graham cracker crumbs, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to create the dry mixture.
-
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup of milk until well combined.
-
Gradually pour the egg and milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork until a smooth batter forms. If the batter appears too thick, add a splash of additional milk to achieve the desired consistency.
-
Heat the canola oil in a large, deep saucepan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach a depth of around 3 to 4 inches.
-
Carefully dip each flour-coated peach into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides.
-
Once coated, gently place the peaches into the hot oil, frying in batches of 3 at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
-
Fry the peaches for approximately 3 minutes, or until they turn a delicious golden brown, crisp exterior.
-
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried peaches to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the deep fried peaches hot and crispy, either on their own or with your favorite accompaniments, such as a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
-
Enjoy this delightful dessert as a decadent treat for yourself or share it with friends and family for a memorable sweet indulgence!
