Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups unsprayed dandelion flowers, wiped clean
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup fine cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon chile powder
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme, or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
2 cups corn or safflower oil

Steps:

  • When picking dandelions, pinch blossoms off from top of stems. Fill a medium bowl with 4 cups of cool water. Add 1 teaspoon salt and lemon juice. Place dandelions in the bowl and push them down into the water several times to clean them. Drain dandelions upside down on paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cornmeal, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, and chile powder. Add thyme, and mix well. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. Pour egg mixture into flour and stir until well combined to form a batter.
  • Pour 1 inch of oil into a 9-inch cast-iron skillet. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Gently dip each flower into batter. Carefully place in hot oil; do not crowd. Fry until golden, about 2 minutes, turn, and fry 1 more minute if necessary. Drain on paper towels. Salt lightly. Serve hot as hors d'oeuvres or a side dish.

I thought these fritters were just okay. They weren't as crispy as I would have liked.

I tried making these fritters but they turned out too oily. I think I might have used too much oil when frying them.

I added a bit of grated cheese to the batter and it gave the fritters a cheesy, savory flavor.
