Fried Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1 cup	198g / 7oz	Chilled seltzer or club soda - - (to 1 1/8 cups)
16		Zucchini blossoms - pistils removed
		If desired
16		Mozzarella sticks, 2" by 1/2" by 1/4" - - (abt 4 oz total)
16		Flat anchovy fillets - (from a 2 oz can) - drained, patted dry
		Vegetable oil - for deep-frying

Recipe Instructions

In a bowl whisk together flour and salt. Whisk in 1 cup seltzer, whisking until smooth, and let batter stand 10 minutes. If necessary, thin batter with enough remaining seltzer to reach consistency of crepe batter.

Stuff each blossom with 1 mozzarella stick and 1 anchovy fillet, pressing ends of blossoms closed.

In a deep heavy skillet heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees on a deep-fat thermometer. Working quickly in batches, dip blossoms in batter, coating each completely, and fry in hot oil, turning, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until golden and crisp. With a slotted spoon transfer blossoms as fried to paper towels to drain. (Make sure oil returns to 375 degrees before adding each new batch.)

Sprinkle blossoms with salt to taste and serve warm.

This recipe yields 16 fried zucchini blossoms.
