For extra crispy fritters, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying. If the oil is too cool, the fritters will absorb excess oil and become soggy. Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in uneven cooking. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cardamom or ginger, to add your own unique twist to the fritters. The bourbon syrup can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For a non-alcoholic option, replace the bourbon whiskey with an equal amount of apple cider or peach juice.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
30 mins
Macerate the Peaches: In a bowl, gently toss the cubed peaches with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This allows the peaches to release their flavorful juices, creating a delicious syrup at the bottom of the bowl. (30 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Prepare for Frying: While the peaches are macerating, heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature control.
03
Step
5 mins
Combine and Rest the Batter: To the macerated peaches, add vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, and panko breadcrumbs. Gently fold in the self-rising flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be moist but not sticky. Let the batter rest for 3 to 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Fry the Fritters: Carefully drop 6 heaping spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 90 seconds on one side, then gently flip and fry for another 90 seconds. Flip once more and cook for an additional minute, until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. (5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Cool and Drain: Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly. This allows excess oil to drain, ensuring a crispy texture.
06
Step
5 mins
Prepare Bourbon Syrup (Optional): While the fritters are cooling, combine 1/4 cup sugar, water, and bourbon whiskey (if using) in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools. (5 minutes)
07
Step
0 mins
Serve: Serve the peach fritters warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of bourbon syrup (if desired). Enjoy immediately!
