Fried Squash Blossoms

Yesterday I was in Lucca,Tuscany,Italy. While I was walking along a street,I saw these fresh squash blossoms at the local vegetable store. The weather was very hot,around 33 degree centigrade,and I still needed to drive 6hrs more to reach home. But these yellow coloured very fresh squash blossom were begging me to take them with me. So I bought and wrapped them with paper to prevent desiccation.



1. Trim the blossoms.

2. Prepare the batter lightly.
Mix well 2 eggs, 2 table spoons of flour, 1 dl of cold milk, a pinch of salt and pepper.

3. Heat oil in the frying pan.

4. When oil is hot,dip the blossoms into the batter, one at the time. Fry them until they become golden on both sides.





5. Drain well on the paper towels. Serve immediately while it's hot and crispy.
