4 c. dandelion flowers snapped off at the top of stem
1 c. biscuit mix
1 c. milk
1 tbsp. sugar or honey (optional)
1/2 inch oil in skillet

UTENSILS:

Mixing bowl
Deep skillet
Paper bag or toweling for draining

Mix together the biscuit mix and milk. Dip dandelion flowers in mix one at a time and douse well with batter. Heat oil in skillet to 335 degrees F. or until it sizzles when a bit of batter is dropped into it. Drop flowers into hot oil head first. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain. Serve hot or cold. Store leftovers in refrigerator for snacks. Fritters can be frozen.

P.S. This recipe works equally well with fiddlehead ferns.
