ELDELFLOWER FRITTERS
.
Ingredients:
1 egg
125 g all-purpose flour
250 ml milk (or sparkling water)
a pinch of salt
1-2 teaspoons sugar
½ teaspoon baking powder
lard or oil for frying
.
Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, and heat the oil in a pan (a bit more than usual). Dip the elderflower blossoms in the mixture and place them in the hot oil, frying briefly on both sides. Keep the heat medium. Remove the elderflowers onto kitchen paper to absorb excess oil. Then sprinkle with sugar (we always used granulated sugar, but powdered sugar works too) and serve warm.
You can prepare acacia flowers in the same way. ;)
