Servings: persons

½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon kosher salt
⅔ cup cold water
½ cup ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, pressed
3 tablespoons sweet onions, minced
3 bell peppers, minced (sweet cayennes or about 2 T of any sweet pepper)
3 tablespoons fresh basil, julienned
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground
6 squash blossoms, stamen removed if male & pistil removed if female, ends trimmed but left as a handle
12 quart peanut oil (or more)

1
Mix batter until just smooth & chill 30 minutes (up to 2 days if covered in the fridge).
2
Mix the stuffing lightly.
3
Trim the blossoms after rinsing under cold running water - dry upside down on a paper towel first.
4
Stuff blossoms with about 1/6 of the mix - try not to tear them when stuffing (be gentle!).
5
It's OK if they tear though - just batter that area well after squeezing the torn edges together - will do fine.
6
Heat oil at least 3 inches deep - a 2 quart saucepan is nice if not using a deep fat fryer.
7
Goal 350 - 375 degrees.
8
Dip the stuffed blossom in the chilled batter & put in oil blossom end down with the petals folded in over the filling.
9
Fry 2 at a time if using the saucepan - otherwise what your fryer will hold without dropping temp (mine will do 2 or 3 at a time).
10
fry until the petals turn a dark orange, slightly brown, at the tips - OK if they unfurl some - they are just crispier that way.
11
About 3 - 5 minutes a potload.
12
Remove from oil, drain & serve immediately with minced sweet pepper & julienned basil as a garnish.
