So the mousse is an egg white base versus some sort of cream cheese mix (I have seen that on the web elsewhere and wasnt sure if that would not just make the blossoms be little bricks). Will try that tempura batter next time. Ever tried it with other types of bubbly sodas/drinks? Brian: goodness, that sounds great.

The tempura batter gives it a nice light crunch. for my tempura batter I use 1 cup flour 1 Tbs corn starch or potato starch 1 egg and 1 tbs baking powder and 1 cup ice cold soda water the soda water is very important to the lightness of the batter.

I to had heard about these blossoms but have never seen where to buy them. Now that I had lots of them, I finally got a chance to try them. Next thing, I am thinking about something like a crab rangoon stuffing in the blossoms .. yummmmm.

They look sooo tasty, and this coconut oil puts a real twist! I'm so impressed. Cute post title too! :) Wow – I’ve heard so much about these fried flowers before – squash blossoms, zucchini flowers, you name it. They look sooo tasty, and this coconut oil puts a real twist!

I know that fried blossoms is a favorite mexican dish, am going to see if my Bayless books have a recipe for them.

The panko breadcrumbs without the batter might be worth a try. When I’ve done them, I just rinse them and put them in some flour, then fry them.
