Recipe Introduction
These are quite tasty.
List of Ingredients
new dandilion blossoms on short stems
1 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
hot cooking oil
1 egg
1 c. flour
pinch of pepper
Recipe
Pick new dandelion blossoms, those on short stems, and
rinse well in cool, lightly salted water. Cut off the stem
ends close to the flower heads, leaving only enough to hold the
petals together, because the stems and greenery are bitter.
Roll the dandelion flowers in paper toweling to blot up the
excess moisture, then dip each one in a batter made of 1 egg,
beaten, with 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a
pinch of pepper.
Drop the batter-coated blossoms into deep hot fat (375 degrees)
and fry until lightly browned. Drain on absorbent paper;
sprinkle with more salt, if needed, and serve at once as a hot
hors d'oeuvre.
