CRISPY ZUCCHINI OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOMS
My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them 'cripelli.' It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.

[email protected]I was a bit disappointed with these zucchini blossoms. The batter was too thick and the blossoms were not as crispy as I would have liked. The filling was also a bit bland. I think I would try a different recipe next time.
