The season of courgette flowers has begun!
In my recipe book, that is coming out soon, I will have a few recipes to enjoy them, I give you here a preview:
Ingredients
10 courgette flowers
Flour 75 g
Corn flour 75
Bicarbonate of soda 1tsp
Very cold soda water 250 ml
Frying oil
Method
Mix the flower with the water slowly until a batter consistency it obtained (like single cream).
Heat the oil in a small high sided pan
Take away the stamen from the flowers then dip the flowers one by one in the flour batter and put in the very hot oil for about 3 minutes until the batter is swollen and looks golden
Tip out onto a plate covered with kitchen towel to adsorb the excess oil and sprinkle with salt.
