Ingredients
Scale

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 medium ripe peaches, diced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- ½ cup olive oil (for frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh corn, slice it off the cob.
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine corn, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper. Stir until just mixed; lumps are okay.
- Add flavors: Gently fold in peaches, tomatoes, and basil.
- Heat oil: In a skillet over medium heat, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Heat until shimmering.
- Fry fritters: Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes each side). Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve: Garnish with extra basil and enjoy warm with balsamic glaze if desired.
