Well I learned the difference between a male squash blossom and a female blossom. The male have a stamen which is pinched off before dipping in batter and frying. Good, not outstanding. Very light and airy and I think there’s more batter than blossom being tasted here.
What I might try next time is to stuff the blossom with cheese, mushrooms, something spicy perhaps, then dip and fry.
seeing those, i immediately thought of my mother, standing in the kitchen, making fried squash blossoms. ah, the memory of childhood meals…
thanks for bringing back this memory.
Happy that I did! Maybe there’s a story in there for you.
