Dandelion Fritters

Ingredients

• 1 cup flour
  

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  

• Salt & Pepper to taste
  

• 1 egg (use half a bottle of beer or water if you cannot eat eggs)
  

• 2 cups dandelion flowers
  

• An inch of olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan

Directions

1. Toss dandelions in beaten eggs.

2. Mix flour with salt & pepper & baking powder. Use other herbs as desired (basil, oregano, tarragon for example).

3. Remove blossom heads from eggs and toss to coat in flour and fry in hot oil in a frying pan until golden brown.

4. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce. A tzatziki yogurt dressing with garlic & mint works great. Alternatively, my favourite is to drizzle with a flavoured olive oil.
