Tempura Dandelions

Let’s deep fry some flowers. They taste like corn pops… lol

They are lovely on their own with a squeeze of lemon, in a salad or in tacos.

Tempura Dandelions

Ingredients

• 2 cups dandelion heads, from a spray and pet-free area
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup soda water, with ice
• 1-2 cups canola or vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Ensure the stems and leaves of your dandelions are removed.
2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt and sift them. Add iced soda water and whisk until you have a thin consistency, similar to Yop yogurt. Adjust with more flour or water to get this consistency.
3. Add oil to a small pot and heat until 375-400. Dip your dandelions into the batter and dry until golden brown, flipping the flowers after 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper bag and season with salt.
