HOW TO COOK ZUCCHINI FLOWERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Clean flowers and dry with a paper towel.
• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk eggs, milk, and olive oil together in a separate bowl; stir in flour mixture until batter is smooth.
• Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
• Dip flowers in the batter and fry in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 5 minutes, working in batches as needed. Transfer fried flowers to a paper towel-lined plate; sprinkle salt over each.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat about 2" oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350°. Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl, then whisk in beer until almost smooth (some small lumps are welcome—don't overwhisk or you'll deflate the batter). One by one, dredge the blossoms in batter, shaking off the excess; gently lay them in the oil, without crowding the pan. Cook, flipping once with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt and devour while hot.
• For an even lighter, crispier crust, try Crispy-Fried Zucchini Blossoms.
• Stuffed blossoms are a favorite in Italy. See our Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms recipe.
