Ingredients

2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp (38g) granulated sugar, divided
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 large egg, at room temperature 
½ cup (120g) sourdough discard
½ cup (120g) whole milk
¼ cup (60g) heavy cream
2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
34 ripe peaches (about 3 cups / 400g diced)
Avocado oil, for frying

Simple Glaze
1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
3–4 tbsp heavy cream


Instructions

 

  1. Toss the peaches with 1 tbsp sugar and let them sit for 15–20 minutes, then drain.
  2. Whisk the flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg with the discard, milk, cream and melted butter.
  3. Heat 2 inches of avocado oil in a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).
  4. While the oil heats, pour the wet into the dry and stir just until combined, then fold in the peaches.
  5. Drop in heaping ¼-cup portions, three or four at a time so the oil stays hot, pressing each one down a little. Fry 2–3 minutes a side, until deep golden and cooked through.
  6. Move to a wire rack and let the oil come back to 350°F between batches.

For the Glaze

  1. Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a small bowl. Add the cream a tablespoon at a time and stir until smooth, until the glaze falls from the spoon in a thick ribbon.
  2. Glaze the fritters while they’re still warm and eat them soon after.
