FRIED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS

First I rinsed the blossoms taking care not to tear them apart or bruise them but making sure that there wasn't anything unpleasant inside like a snoozing bee or angry ants. Then I began heating up some vegetable oil on the stove while I made the batter.
It was a simple batter, and a light one.
Zucchini Blossom Batter
8 Zucchini/Squash Blossoms
1 Large Egg
2 Tablespoons Flour
1 Teaspoon Milk
Pinch of Salt
Rinse the blossoms taking care not to tear or bruise them. Beat egg thoroughly, add 1 teaspoon of milk and then sift in 2 tablespoons of flour, a pinch of sugar and mix thoroughly. Dredge zucchini blossoms in the batter making sure that it gets inside of the flowers. Tap lightly against the side of the bowl and when the oil is hot drop the battered blossoms in and cook until golden brown then drain oil on paper towels.

Hmm, I think I may have just found a dish for my menu. Now to get some plates to shoot them on before they go out of season.
