Dandelion Blossoms
Dandelion
Blossoms can be batter-dipped and deep-fried. They taste a lot like mushrooms
when prepared in this fashion and are a delightful treat.

Ingredients
30
dandelion blossoms (pick blossoms that are open but fairly young and pesticide free)
1 cup of
flour
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic
powder
2 eggs
Deep fryer half filled with vegetable oil

Directions
Combine flour and whole milk. Mix thoroughly. Whip eggs in a separate bowl and
then stir into flour mixture. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder. Mix
thoroughly. Add a little more milk if batter is too thick. Heat oil in deep
fryer to 325 degrees F. Roll blossoms into batter and drop into deep fryer. Fry
5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Blossoms will float to the surface when done.
Place on a paper towel to drain. These taste best when eaten hot.
