Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the zucchini flowers by removing the pistils, taking care not to tear the delicate flowers.

In a bowl, whisk together the batter ingredients.

Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until very hot. Flour the flowers lightly, dip them in the batter, and fry them in batches until golden, transferring them to a paper towel-lined rack to drain. Sprinkle with salt, transfer to a serving plate and serve hot.
