I'm not much of a deep fried person but these were advertised at stands all over my roadtrip through artichoke country in Northern California and I just had to try them! So glad I did! Ingredients:
2 (9 ounce) packages frozen artichoke hearts |
1 1/2 cups flour |
3 egg yolks |
salt |
pepper |
tabasco sauce |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 1/4 cups milk |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
oil, for deep-frying |
Directions:
1. Thaw the artichoke hearts.
2. Place flour in a bowl and add egg yolks, nutmeg and salt, pepper and tabasco to taste. Gradually beat in 1 cup milk. Stir in baking powder. Coat artichokes in batter. Adjust the consistancy with the extra milk if needed.
3. Drop the artichokes one at a time into oil (deep enough to cover artichokes), heated to 360 degrees. Cook, turning, until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce (I like ranch or flavored mayo)!
