18 zucchini blossoms |
a pint (500 ml) whole milk, or a mixture of beer and milk |
3 heaping tablespoons flour |
an egg, lightly beaten |
salt |
olive oil or lard, for frying |
Directions:
1. Trim the stems of the zucchini blossoms, remove the pistils, wash them gently and pat them dry just as gently.
2. Prepare the batter by combining the milk, flour and egg.
3. Heat the oil.
4. Lightly salt the zucchini blossoms, dredge them in the batter, fry them until golden, drain them on absorbent paper, and serve them hot.
