Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Deep-Fried Dandelion Flowers.
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the dandelion flowers gently under cool running water, then pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Carefully detach the green tendrils from each flower and set them aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, curry powder, and salt.
Step 4
In a larger bowl, beat an egg and gradually incorporate the flour mixture until it forms a smooth batter.
Step 5
Slowly pour in lager-style beer, stirring until the batter achieves a runny pancake-like consistency; if it feels too thick, simply add a splash more beer.
Step 6
Heat canola oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it shimmers, reaching about 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
If you don’t have a thermometer, the shimmer is your cue.
Step 8
Working in batches, dip each dandelion flower into the batter, letting any excess drip off before gently placing them into the hot oil.
Step 9
Fry for approximately three minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown.
Step 10
Once cooked, transfer the crispy dandelion flowers to a plate lined with crumpled paper towels or a wire rack to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve them warm and savor the unique flavors of this delightful dish!.
