1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup diced fresh ripe peaches
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in diced peaches.
Heat 1–1½ inches of oil in a skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).

Chopped pecans or a drizzle of glaze can elevate the presentation.
