Ingredients

8
wonton wrappers (found in the produce section)
1/2
cup NC peaches, peeled and chopped (1-2 peaches)
1
Tablespoon Butter
3
Tablespoons Honey
1
tsp. cornstarch
1
egg
Water
Peanut Oil
Cinnamon
Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions

In a sauce pan, add butter, honey and peaches.  Sauté until the peaches are soft. Stir in cornstarch and let boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool fully in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Beat the egg and add a little water to make an egg wash. Fill wonton wrapper with 1 teaspoon of peach mixture. Brush egg wash around the edges and press together at the tips.

In a large, heavy duty pot, add enough peanut oil to allow wontons to swim and heat to 350 degrees. Add wontons and fry until golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.  Place 2 fried wontons on a plate and sprinkle with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
