Time 45m

Yield 18 fritters, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup flour
1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 large egg
1 cup lager beer
3 cups canola oil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
18 large squash blossoms
1/4 lb Fontina cheese, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
2 lemons, cut into 6 wedges each

Steps:

  • Make the batter: Stir, using a whisk, 1 cup flour, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the egg and the beer together in a small bowl. Slowly pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, stirring constantly with a fork, until almost combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy. Let stand for 30 minutes.
  • Fill and fry the blossoms: Heat oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fat thermometer over medium-high heat to 375°F Gently open the petals of the blossoms using a paring knife and carefully remove the pistils without tearing the petals. Combine the remaining flour and cayenne pepper in a medium bowl, add the cheese, and toss until the cubes are coated. Place one cube inside each blossom and twist the ends to close. Dip blossoms, holding them at the petal end, one at a time into batter. Wipe excess batter from blossom against the side of the bowl.
  • Carefully ease 3 blossoms into hot oil and fry, turning once with a slotted spoon until golden brown - about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining blossoms. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

I'm not a fan of squash blossoms, but I made these fritters for my husband and he loved them. He said they were light and fluffy, and the squash blossoms added a unique flavor. I'll definitely be making these again for him.

These fritters were a great way to use up some leftover squash blossoms. They were easy to make and turned out really well. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and they were a hit.

These fritters were amazing! I used a mix of squash blossoms and zucchini blossoms, and they were both delicious. I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce and they were a perfect appetizer.

These fritters were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the batter next time.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These fritters were a bit of a disappointment. The batter was too thick and the squash blossoms were overpowered by the flavor of the batter. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
