Ingredients

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.
