Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pumpkin or Zucchini Blossoms.
Step 1
In a medium bowl, blend all-purpose flour, baking powder, minced basil, and grated Parmesan cheese until well mixed.
Step 2
Next, pour in the cold water and add the beaten eggs, stirring until the batter achieves a smooth consistency.
Step 3
Heat about half an inch of oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers invitingly.
Step 4
Gently dip each blossom into the batter, ensuring a thorough coating, and then carefully place a few blossoms at a time into the hot oil.
Step 5
Fry the blossoms for approximately 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until they turn a delightful crisp golden brown.
Step 6
Once they are perfectly cooked, lift the blossoms from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

Enjoy the delicious crunch and vibrant flavors of your freshly fried blossoms!.
