Servings: persons

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sparkling water
Salt
1/3 cup (3 ounces) goat cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 teaspoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 scallion, white part only, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
8 zucchini blossoms (see Cooks Note), stamens removed
Vegetable oil, for frying

1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, water, and 3/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
2
Set the batter aside.
3
In a small bowl combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, heavy cream, basil, and scallion.
4
Mix until smooth.
5
Season with salt and pepper.
6
Spoon 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons filling into each blossom.

Close the blossoms and gently twist the petals to seal.

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about a third of the way.
9
Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350F.

(If you dont have a thermometer, toss in a cube of bread; it will brown in about 3 minutes and, when it does, the oil is ready.)
