Fried Squash Blossoms

1. 1

   In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, wine, and water.

2. 2

   Whisk until the mixture resembles a thin pancake batter.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot over high heat to a temperature of 350F or until just before smoking.

4. 4

   Dip a blossom into the batter, shaking off any excess against the side of the bowl.

5. 5

   Drop it gently into the oil allowing it to brown nicely for a few minutes.

6. 6

   Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the blossom and drain it on paper towels or on a wire rack placed over paper towels.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining blossoms, frying no more than 3 at a time.

8. 8

   If you crowd the blossoms, they will lower the temperature of the oil and you will not get as crispy results.

9. 9

   Salt the blossoms generously and eat while warm.
