Andrew V. Mason quotesThis is a recipie I found for


Fried Dandelion Flowers
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
optional (other favorite seasonings like garlic powder, onion salt, or seasoning salt-go light on the seasonings until you're sure you like the flavors with the blooms)
Beat the egg and add the milk. Whisk in the flour and seasonings. You can dip the flowers and fry immediately, but the batter stays on better if it's refrigerated for a half hour or so.

When the batter is lightly browned, lift the flowers out of the oil and drain them on paper towels.

Fried Dandelion Flowers are good served as appetizers or as a side dish with ham.

I really loved em , they tasted like a spinach and cheese popper of some sort and I really enjoyed them. The larger the flower the more pronounced the spinach flavor.
