Peach Fritters

This is a dessert I made to take to the Peach Days Committee meeting.

Peach Mixture:

6 peaches, peeled and diced

1/4 c. peach drink ( I used a powdered drink mix mixed with water)

1/2 t. cinnamon

1/4 c. butter

1/4 c. sugar

Cook all but peaches in a saucepan for 3-5 minutes, then add peaches. Cool for 10 minutes.

Dough:

1 T. yeast

2 c. peach drink, warmed

1 t. cinnamon

2/3 c. scalded milk

2 eggs

3/4 c. sugar

1 cube melted butter

3 c. flour

Mix well in Bosch mixer, gradually adding additional flour till it's a soft dough. Add cooled peaches and mix gently. Add enough additional flour, if needed, for a soft, sticky dough again. Cover and let rise. Pul a small handful of dough out of bowl and stretch out flat, with fingers, on a floured surface. Cook in 375° oil, turning to brown other side. Drain on paper towels.

Glaze:

1 # powdered sugar

1/2 c. water

1/2 t. vanilla

Mix well with hand mixer. With tongs, dip fritter in glaze, shake excess glaze off and drain on a rack over a cookie sheet.
