Beer, Peaches and Donuts. As One. YUM.

Ok, so these aren't exactly "donuts" in the traditional sense. They are beer-battered, deep-fried donut peaches. And my God, they look so insanely delicious! Get the story behind this genius idea at Lunch at Sixpoint. Recipe below.

Beer-Battered, Deep-Fried Donut Peaches

(makes 6)

• 6 donut peaches, carefully pitted without cutting the rest of the fruit
• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beer
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• about 4 cups canola oil (or enough to submerge)

Bring oil to about 375 degrees. It should be slightly sizzling. Whisk together the egg, flour, beer, salt and sugar. Dunk the pitted donuts into the batter to coat completely.

Test if oil is hot enough to deep-frying by dropping a dollop of batter in first. If it sizzles up and turns golden brown within a couple seconds, it's ready. Shake a little batter off each peach and deep-fry in batches of two or three at a time. (You'll want to keep the oil consistently hot, and adding more peaches will lower its temperature.) Once golden brown, after approximately 5-10 seconds, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream optional.
