Tips for making
Choose ripe peaches: Use fresh, ripe yellow peaches. The flesh is sweeter and easier to cook into a thick jam.
Cornstarch water preparation: The cornstarch water should not be too thin, it should be slightly thicker to help the peaches stick better to the hand-pulled pancake.
Add more cheese: You can add more cheese for a richer flavor, especially if you like a stronger cheesy taste, feel free to add more.
Seal tightly: When wrapping the hand-pulled pancake, make sure to pinch the edges tightly to avoid the filling leaking out while cooking.
Air fryer temperature control: 180°C for 15 minutes is a good time, but every air fryer has slightly different temperatures, so you can adjust the time based on your specific model.
Add black sesame: Sprinkle some black sesame on top to enhance the fragrance and make the appearance more appealing.
Changes and Substitutes
Want to make it yourself? Try the following methods:
Replace the fruit: You can use apples, pears, or blueberries instead of yellow peaches. Each fruit has a different sweet and sour taste, which will bring a different flavor experience.
Replace the hand-pulled pancake: If hand-pulled pancake is not convenient, you can try using thin pancake wraps, spring roll wrappers, or corn tortillas instead. The texture will be different.
Cheese substitute: If you don’t like cheese or want a fresher taste, you can replace it with yogurt or cream, as yogurt pairs well with peaches.
Add nuts: You can add crushed nuts (such as cashews, almonds, or peanuts) to increase the crunch and fragrance.
Use honey: If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a little honey to the fruit filling for a naturally sweet flavor.
Storage options
Room temperature: It’s best to eat it fresh, but you can also store it in a sealed container for 1 day.
Refrigerator: It can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but you can reheat it in the oven to restore its crispiness.
Freezer: It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) until it becomes hot and crispy again.
Eating pairing suggestions
Pair with yogurt: The peach fritters are naturally sweet, so pairing them with a bowl of plain yogurt or Greek yogurt can balance out the sweetness and add a refreshing taste.
Pair with tea: You can enjoy it with a cup of black tea, green tea, or herbal tea. The gentle tea aroma complements the dessert, providing a better taste experience.
Pair with fruit salad: If you want your meal to be more nutritious, pair it with a fresh fruit salad, like strawberries, blueberries, and mint. It gives a fresher taste.
Add chocolate sauce: If you like chocolate flavor, try spreading some chocolate sauce on the peach fritters for a layered flavor experience.
Pair with ice cream: What’s a dessert without ice cream? You can have it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, combining hot and cold for a richer taste.
FAQs:
Frozen peaches are also a good option. You can slightly thaw them before use and try to remove any excess water. The fritters will still turn out delicious, though the texture may be slightly different, but still very tasty!
When baking in the air fryer, you can flip them halfway through, so both sides get evenly heated, preventing one side from absorbing too much oil.
Make sure the air fryer’s vent is clear to help excess moisture and oil evaporate better.
Preheat the oven to 180°C, place the flatbreads on a baking sheet, brush with a thin layer of oil, and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Don’t forget to flip them halfway to ensure even baking.
If the pit is hard to remove, use a small knife to lightly score around the pit and twist it a little to easily pull it out. This method is quick and prevents wasting any fruit.
