CRISPY ZUCCHINI OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOMS



Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms image

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 pumpkin blossoms
1/2 c milk (regular, skim, whatever you like)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt or to your liking
1/8 tsp pepper or to your liking
2/3 c saltine crackers crumbs or yellow corn meal

Steps:

Make a batter of the milk, eggs, salt and pepper, and dip the blossoms in this batter; then in the cracker crumbs or cornmeal (it may be easier to sprinkle the crumbs or cornmeal on because the flowers are delicate) and fry until light brown. Serve hot.
