Sourdough Peach Fritters

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the whipping cream, sourdough starter, and egg using an electric hand mixer until well combined. Add in the flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and beat until just combined (don’t overmix!). Fold in the diced peaches and set aside.

Fill a dutch oven halfway with frying oil (such as tallow or avocado oil) and heat until it reaches 375F. Drop in 1/4 cup of batter at a time into the oil and fry until completely golden brown—about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

For the Vanilla Bean Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk (starting with 2 tbsp and adding more if needed for desired consistency), and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Pour over the cooled peach fritters, or dunk each one into the glaze. Serve fresh and warm!
