Peach Fritters recipe. Making fresh peach fritters with chunks of peaches in a peach batter instead of chunks of peaches in a plain batter changes everything. These fritters are pure peach goodness. Serve with vanilla ice cream and an optional Bourbon whiskey simple syrup.

Ingredients
Peach Fritters:
* 1 generous cup cubed fresh peach (about 1 very large, or 2 small peaches)
* 2 tablespoons white sugar
* 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 pinch ground nutmeg
* 1 pinch ground cinnamon
* 1 tablespoon panko breadcrumbs
* 1/2 cup self-rising flour
Bourbon Simple Syrup (Optional):
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 2 tablespoons water
* 1 tablespoon Bourbon whiskey
Directions
Step 1
Add cubed peaches to a bowl and toss well with 2 tablespoons sugar. Coverand let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Peaches will release their juice and a syrup will form at the bottom of the bowl.
Step 2
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 3
Stir vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and panko breadcrumbs into peaches. Add self-rising flour and stir until batter is no longer dry or sticky but fully moistened, about 1 minute. Rest batter for 3 to 5 minutes before frying.
Step 4
Transfer 6 heaping spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, and fry for 90 seconds. Carefully tip fritters over to the other side and fry 90 seconds more. Flip again, and cook 1 minute more.
Step 5
Remove to cool on a rack until just barely warm.
Step 6
To make Bourbon syrup, combine 1/4 cup sugar, water, and Bourbon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 minute, and remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. (You can make syrup ahead and refrigerate until needed. This is a very light syrup, so if you want something a little thicker you can boil for an extra minute.)
Step 7
Serve fritters with vanilla ice cream and Bourbon syrup.
