Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ cup flour
  • ½ teaspoon season salt
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 egg -- slightly beaten
  • 10 to 15 squash blossoms
  • ¼ cup goat cheese
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Canola oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

Make The Batter

  • Combine the first 5 ingredients, and then stir in the egg and water until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.

Prepare the squash blossoms.

  • Carefully separate the flower petals without breaking them and remove the pistil in the center.
  • Combine the goat cheese, honey, basil, lime juice and chili powder until smooth. Carefully add about a tablespoon of this mixture to each blossom and twist the top of the flower tight.
  • Heat enough oil in a frying pan - about an inch deep - to accommodate the blossoms.
  • Dip the stuffed blossoms in the batter and set aside. 
  • Add the blossoms to the frying pan and fry no more than a minute per side. Remove and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate.
