Fried Capers (Little Flowers)

1. 1

   Heat oil to 365-75* F in a medium saucepan.

2. 2

   If you haven't a thermometer, this is hot but definitely not smoking.

3. 3

   Lower the capers, (I use a Chinese deep frying wire utensil) a few at a time, into the oil and fry until they suddenly pop open and look like little flower buds.

4. 4

   Let them cook for a couple of seconds, remove, and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Salt, sparingly, since they are salty already.

6. 6

   Serve.
