“BATTER-FRIED ZUCCHINI STICKS” IS IN:

BATTER-FRIED ZUCCHINI STICKS 
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
2 tbsp. oil
1 lb. zucchini, cut into 3 or 4-inch sticks
Additional flour (optional)
Oil for deep frying

Sift flour with baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine egg, milk and 2 tablespoons oil. Slowly add to dry ingredients, beating until smooth. Pat zucchini sticks very dry and if desired dredge lightly in flour. Dip pieces, one at a time, in batter.

Fry in deep oil heated to 375°F until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with more salt, if desired.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE:

4 egg yolks
1 tbsp. water or dry white wine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1/4 tsp. salt
dash of black pepper
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Beat egg yolks until thick and light-colored. Mix in water and transfer to top of double boiler set over barely simmering water. Heat and stir 2 to 3 minutes until warm, not hot, and eggs have begun to thicken. Add butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating continuously until well blended. Cook, beating, 2 to 3 minutes until sauce thickens enough to coat back of spoon.

Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and lemon juice. Serve immediately with zucchini sticks.

Makes 2 dozen.

NOTE: Vegetables that may be substituted for zucchini include artichoke hearts, carrot sticks, cauliflowerets, parsley sprigs, sliced parsnips and sweet potato sticks.

Batter-Fried Zucchini Sticks

 Patrick Noon says:
Hey, I really enjoyed your recipe it was really delicious, except that I made a few slight changes... A little side note, I am gluten intolerant and unable to digest flour, so I substituted quinoa flour and it was amazing! The texture is a bit more chewy, and really allows the flavor to roll of your tongue. I also added cumin and a little lemon pepper, thanks for the recipe, it was awesome!!

Great Batter, delicious, delicious. Crispy and tasty - only added a small amount of Black Pepper. Zucchini definitely needed the sprinkling of flour to keep the batter on. Saving this as a favorite.

Not bad. Batter needed a little seasoning and I agree with mimi, needs to be dredged in a bit of flour. tasty
