Fried Dandelion Blossoms

Instructions

1. Gently wash and thoroughly dry the Dandelion Blossoms. Ensure they are free of any dirt or insects.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Cornstarch, Baking Powder, and Salt (Batter).
3. Gradually add the Cold Water to the Batter, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat the Vegetable Oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
5. Dip each Dandelion Blossom into the Batter, ensuring it is lightly coated.
6. Carefully drop the battered blossoms into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
7. Fry for 1-2 minutes per batch, until golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove the fried blossoms with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9. Serve immediately.
