CRISPY ZUCCHINI OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOMS



Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms image

My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them 'cripelli.' It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.

Number Of Ingredients 6

24 pumpkin blossoms
1/2 c milk (regular, skim, whatever you like)
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt or to your liking
1/8 tsp pepper or to your liking
2/3 c saltine crackers crumbs or yellow corn meal

Steps:

Make a batter of the milk, eggs, salt and pepper, and dip the blossoms in this batter; then in the cracker crumbs or cornmeal (it may be easier to sprinkle the crumbs or cornmeal on because the flowers are delicate) and fry until light brown. Serve hot.
