These crispy battered and fried dandelion flowers taste amazing! They make a great appetizer or you can sprinkle some on a green salad for added crunch factor. These edible flowers are nutritional powerhouses, bursting with vitamin C.

Ingredients

  • 30 dandelions flowers
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 0.5 cups lager-style beer , or more if needed
  • 2 cups canola oil for frying

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash dandelions under cool running water and dry on paper towels. Remove the green tendrils behind each flower. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix together flour, curry powder, and salt in a small bowl or measuring cup. Beat egg in a large bowl; stir in flour mixture until smooth. Pour in beer; mix until batter is similar to runny pancake batter. Add more beer if batter is too thick.

  3. 3

    Heat oil in a small saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). If you don't have a thermometer, heat oil until it begins to shimmer.

  4. 4

    Working in batches, dip dandelion flowers into batter, then gently drop in hot oil and fry until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer cooked flowers to crumpled paper towels or a wire rack; serve warm.
