Happy May Day! Blessed Beltane! Celebrate spring however you wish!! What better way to bring spring into your life and home than these tasty treats!! I had to include a pic of a dandelion to help illustrate what I mean when preparing the flowers. I make these every year on Beltane and for dinner I serve a salad with dandelion leaves (which I will post as well!!).
Ingredients:
4 cups of fresh picked (washed) dandelion flowers
2 cups flour
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/4 cup honey
Directions:
Pick the dandelions fresh from your yard as close to the cap as possible (as shown in the red oval). Wash them in cold water to remove debris (dirt, dust, pollen, etc), and set on a paper towel to dry or air dry.
Mix the milk, flour, honey, and eggs and beat until blended well.
Warm some olive oil in a skillet on the stove (keep at medium heat). Holding the underneath of the flowers, dip into the batter until totally covered in the fritter batter then place into skillet, flower side down.
Once they are brown, flip and brown the other side. If need be, continue flipping until the batter coating is light brown.
Remove from oil and allow excess oil to soak onto a towel or paper towel.
Serve with maple syrup, honey, or roll in powdered sugar before consuming!

The leaves of an elder dandelion plant (ones that have sprouted the yellow flowers) are very bitter and should be eaten with care. The flowers have a slight herbal taste to them which is why I add honey to the batter. It's like a sweetened pancake mix almost. I hope this helps!
