Grandma Nickie’s Deep Fried Cauliflower Recipe

Directions

Ingredients :

3 cups oil for frying, or as needed

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets

¼ teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Methods :

Step 1

Heat frying oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Toss cauliflower florets with salt in a bowl. Stir egg and vegetable oil together in a bowl; whisk flour and milk into egg mixture until batter is smooth. Working in batches, drop several pieces of cauliflower into batter and stir to coat.

Step 3

Working in batches, fry battered cauliflower pieces in preheated oil until they rise to the top of the oil and float, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn pieces over and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes more.
