Southern Fried Peaches

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prep peaches
    • Peel peaches (optional, you can leave skin on if you prefer).
    • Slice into thick wedges or halves.
  2. Make coating
    • In a shallow bowl, mix flour, cornmeal (if using), sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    • In another bowl, whisk egg and milk.
  3. Coat peaches
    • Dip peach slices in egg wash, then dredge in flour mixture until well coated.
  4. Fry
    • Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat.
    • Fry peaches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and caramelized.
  5. Serve
    • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey.
    • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or as a side with crispy fried chicken. 🍗

✨ Variations:

  • Add a splash of bourbon to the egg wash for a Southern twist.
  • For extra crunch, coat with panko breadcrumbs after flouring.
  • Try serving with buttermilk biscuits for a true Southern combo.

Would you like me to also give you a cast-iron skillet version with a brown sugar butter glaze (like a shortcut peach cobbler)?
