Crispy Appalachian Fried Dandelions
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • 4 eggs
  • 80 unopened dandelion blossoms, stems removed
  • 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
1
Combine flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a bowl to create an even blend; set it aside for now.
2
Crack eggs into a separate bowl and whisk them until they're well incorporated, then gently fold in the dandelion blossoms until they are thoroughly coated.
3
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat, allowing it to melt and become smooth.
4
Take half of the dandelions from the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip away before proceeding.
5
Dredge the dandelions in flour until they are completely covered, shaking off any excess before cooking.
6
Use your hands to coat the dandelions in flour again, allowing any additional excess flour to fall away before cooking.
7
Cook the coated dandelions in the melted butter, stirring occasionally and waiting for them to turn golden brown, which should take around 5 minutes.
8
Transfer the cooked dandelions to a plate lined with paper towels, allowing them to drain any excess moisture.
9
Repeat the process with the remaining dandelions.
