Total time: 
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients
  • 12 zucchini blossoms
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup milk
  • flour, as needed
  • a pinch of baking soda (or, even better, 2 tablespoons of beer - if you have it)
  • peanut oil
  • coarse salt
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, beat an egg. Whisk in milk and a pinch of soda (or beer). Add enough flour to achieve a dense consistency (think pancake batter). Whisk batter until most lumps are gone but do not over-whisk.
  2. In a large pot, heat about 1 inch of peanut oil to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Dredge each blossom in batter, shaking off the excess and lay it in the oil (it's better to fry few at a time). Once they have cooked on one side, flip them with a slotted spoon, until golden brown.
  4. Drain them on dish lined with paper towel. Sprinkle with coarse salt and enjoy them while they're hot!
