Fleurs de Courgette (Zucchini Flowers)
From: Lady Jennie
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 2-4
- 6-8 zucchini flowers
- ⅓ cup wheat or chick pea flour
- 1 egg
- 2 T milk
- sea salt
- oil for deep frying
- Remove the teeth from the flowers, then cut the very top off to make it look tidy.
- Mix the egg with the flour, then add one tablespoon of milk at a time.
- Heat the oil until it sizzles when you drop a bit of batter in it. If it's hot enough, the batter will float.
- Dip the flowers in the batter and put them in the oil to deep fry.
- Check them constantly and when they are brown on one side, turn them over to the other. If they brown too quickly, turn the heat down.
- When brown on both sides, remove them with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate with 2 paper towels to soak the grease.
- Sprinkle them with sea salt and eat them piping hot.
