Elderflower fritters and a banana fritter
How to make Elderflower frittersrecipe taken from "Wild Food" by Roger Phillips, ISBN 978-0-330-28069-3, highly recommended reading
1. Wait until June/July next year (they're past it now)
2. Make simple batter
4oz flour
1 egg
1/4 pint tepid water
pinch salt
3. Dip elderflower heads into batter, hold by the stems. This batter mix will do at least a dozen elderflower heads
4. Deep fry in hot oil until golden brown
5. Optionally dress in icing sugar, they go nicely with fresh fruit like raspberries or a blob of ice cream
tip: if you have batter left over, use it to make some banana fritters as I did above ^^^, it's quite hard to run out of elderflowers when they are in season though as they grow so profusely. If you pick them next year be sure to not decimate a patch as that will limit the harvest of elderberries
Prize for figuring out what this is^
note: the dates on the pictures are all inaccurate
My guess is it's the beautiful sun! Or is it brewing elderberries in the bucket??
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good recipe and accompaniment to fried banana.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the prize?
