Ingredients

  • 8 zucchini flowers
  • 1 teaspoon yeast
  • warm water 15 cl.
  • 1 5/8 cups flour
  • 2 eggs
  • olive oil 15 cl.
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Wash the zucchini flowers, remove the pistil, and dry with a paper towel. Work gently to preserve the petals.
  • Mix yeast in warm water until dissolved.
  • In a bowl, add the flour, and make a well in the center. Break the eggs in the well and mix.
  • Add 5 centiliters of olive oil and mix.
  • Gradually, add the yeast mixture. Mix to a smooth, thick batter. Add salt and pepper.
  • Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the batter rest for 1 hour.
  • In a large skillet, heat enough oil to fry.
  • Coat the zucchini flowers in the batter and fry them until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once cooked, place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
  • Additional herbs and spices can be added to the batter to taste.
