CRISPY ZUCCHINI OR PUMPKIN BLOSSOMS

Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms image

My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them 'cripelli.' It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.
