Fried Peach Cobbler Fritters

One day I was commenting to my Aunt I love peaches and wishing I could work a trip to Weatherford Peach Festival in and the next day Brother In Law was bringing me a bucket of peaches!    He was riding a horse by an unoccupied house and saw a small peach tree so loaded with peaches the branches were breaking off.  He talked to the property manager and got permission to pick some peaches.  He doesn’t cook or eat them raw, but knew I’d like them.  How lucky am I?   They smell wonderful and the pink skins are so pretty. This morning the little grands are here for breakfast so I mixed up a fritter recipe plus some delicious juicy ripe peaches for a delectable breakfast that tastes like a bite of fried peach cobbler.  The best part is that they only take minutes to make.



When the grands spend the night with us breakfast is always a special treat.  This breakfast turned out really fantastic and special.  I already knew they liked peaches because they ate some fresh peaches last night for snacks.  This morning instead of plain old pancakes I used a fritter recipe and added peaches.  Wow, they are delicious. 



I picked out two ripe peaches and peeled away the skin.  You could leave the skin on but the texture is a little weird to me so I remove it.  I used a small paring knife to cut the skinless peaches in half so I could remove the pits.  It was a simple task to cut the remaining peach flesh into tiny little pieces and drop them right into the batter.  The skillet with about an inch of vegetable oil was waiting and hot.  A big tablespoon of peachy batter is a perfect size to drop into the skillet.  They sizzled in the hot oil for a minute or two on each side before they were ladled onto a paper towel.  While they were still hot Girl Grand helped me generously sprinkle on powdered sugar.



I ate mine hot and let my eyes roll toward heaven while the flavor seeped across my tongue.  The grands are not into hot food so they let their fritters cool before rolling their eyes toward heaven!
