Donut Peach Donuts

Yield 1 dozen

You guys, this is so fun. My oldest son has tested and written today's recipe and I could not be more proud. I've added a bit more detail and some of my own tips in parenthesis. Hopefully this isn't too confusing.

In case you are wondering, these are even more delicious if someone else makes them for you so considering printing the recipe and sharing with a loved one. 

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons melted and cooled butter

1 egg

1 dozen Donut or Saturn Peaches

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Instructions

Mix the flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon into a large bowl. Then add milk, butter and egg and mix until no flour clumps are showing.

Then grab a large pot and fill it with vegetable oil until a donut peach can float in the oil, and heat. (When filling the oil make sure to leave at least 3-inches of space at the top of the pan to prevent the oil from boiling over.)

Make cinnamon sugar to dip the fried donuts in, which is about 1/3 of a spoon cinnamon and 1/2 a cup sugar. To fry the peaches, stick them in the batter and then put them in the oil. (I found that using two forks for dipping and retrieving the peaches from the batter works well. Gently let the excess batter drip off the donut at the edge of the bowl).

The oil should be ready after about ten minutes. (Heat the oil to about 350°F. You can test if the oil is ready by dropping in a small amount of batter. It should take about 15 - 30 seconds before it starts to color and it will float at the top of the oil). You will know when to pull the donuts out when they look light brown. (This takes about 3 to 4 minutes and I tend to like them a nice deep copper color).

Best served warm. (With vanilla ice cream). Enjoy immediately!
