This simple dandelion fitter recipe is easy to make and a fun way to put your dandelions to use.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups fresh picked dandelion flowers
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • butter or coconut oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, egg, milk, and salt until well blended.
  2. Add butter to a skillet on medium heat, just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. (These fritters are fried, not deep dried.) Grab a flower by the green part and dip it in the batter until completely coated. Place the coated flower into the skillet, green side up. Repeat until the skillet is filled with flowers.
  3. Cook the fritters until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and finish cooking.
  4. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel or brown paper to absorb excess oil.
  5. Serve warm, either plain or with a bit of maple syrup, honey, or dandelion jelly.

Notes

For savory dandelion fritters, add some herbs to the batter, such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or curry blend. Dip in ranch dressing, tzatziki sauce, or thousand island dressing. For a heartier fritter, add a tablespoon or two of finely shredded Parmesan cheese.
