Steps:
- Pour the oil to a depth of at least 3 inches into a deep-fryer, wok, or deep, heavy saucepan and heat to 300°F.
- Meanwhile, cut the peaches into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the flour on a plate and spread the panko on a second plate.
- When the oil is ready, using chopsticks or tongs, dredge a peach slice in the flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, dredge the slice in the panko, covering it as evenly as possible with the light flakes.
- Carefully place the peach slice in the hot oil. It should immediately begin to bubble and hiss. While the first slice is cooking, continue to dredge and dip more slices in the flour, egg, and panko and add them to the oil. Fry no more than 3 or 4 slices at a time, making sure they do not touch one another, for about 1 minute, until evenly golden. Using a wire skimmer, transfer the finished slices to a wire rack set over a shallow bowl or pan to drain briefly. Serve piping hot.

Steps:
- Take blanched, peeled peaches and roll in the 1/4 cup flour.
- Combine the remaining flour, sugar, coconut, cracker crumbs, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
- In a smaller bowl combine the egg and 1 cup of milk.
- Fork into the the flour mixture.
- If the batter is to thick add a bit of milk.
- Pour oil into a large, deep saucepan so that its around 3 to 4 inches deep-heat to medium high.
- Dip peaches in the batter and then into hot oil.
- Fry for 3 minutes or until golden brown.
- The pan should hold 3 at a time without touching.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm peaches for frying. Peaches that are too soft will fall apart during the frying process.
- To make the batter, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and sugar. This will create a light and crispy batter.
- Be sure to coat the peaches evenly in the batter before frying. This will help to prevent the batter from falling off during the frying process.
- Fry the peaches in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the peaches will not cook evenly.
- Serve the fried peaches immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for fried peaches include honey, whipped cream, and ice cream.

Fried peaches are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy batter and a sweet, juicy filling, fried peaches are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give fried peaches a try.
