Vegan Elderflower Fritters
A crisp batter with sweet blossoms inside. Our vegan elderflower fritters are a spring treat.
Servings: 12 Fritters
Ingredients
- 12 (12) elderflowers freshly picked
- ½ cup (60 g) plain flour
- ½ tsp (½ tsp) baking powder
- 1 tsp (1 tsp) icing sugar
- ½ to ¾ cup (120 ml) beer
- sunflower oil enough to fill your pan 3cm deep
Instructions
- Mix the flour, baking powder and sugar together. Then add the beer and mix to a runny but slightly thick batter. If too thick, add more beer.
- Fill a deep sided pan with 3cm sunflower oil and heat to 180C. Always take care when deep frying. Test it is hot enough with a drop of batter, which should immediately fizz and start to brown in less than a minute.
- Dip your elderflowers heads into the batter, let it drip for a moment, and then carefully put in the hot oil.
- The fritters are ready when they are light golden brown all over. Takes about a minute. Take them out and drain on a piece of kitchen paper.
- Continue to cook the remaining fritters in batches until you have used up all your batter.
- Serve your elderflower fritters with a drizzle of vegan dandelion honey, and a dusting of icing sugar. Enjoy them fresh!
Notes
Don't eat the green stalks, just use them as cute little handles to hold yourr fritters!
