After writing my post on useful lawns the other week, I developed an odd craving for fried dandelions. In case you’ve never tried them, you should! Here’s my recipe for fried dandelions.

If you are wondering what fried dandelions taste like, I would say they have a southern tang. Something like fried okra perhaps but not as slimy. Of course, anything truly fried makes me think of the south lol.

When you are picking the dandelions, keep in mind that you don’t want any of the stems since they are bitter. If your toddler helps you pick the dandelion flowers, make sure you go through and remove the stems… not that I would know anything about that!

Wash the flowers by briefly soaking them in a bowl of water and then draining. Drain in a strainer or lay out on a towel. You don’t want the flower super wet as water will make your grease really pop and snap when you are frying them.

The batter is 4 simple ing. milk, flour, egg and salt.  I mix them all together, dip the flowers in and then drop into the frying pan.

If you have a deep fryer, use that for frying dandelions, I don’t have one so I just fry them in my skillet.

These are delicious just by themselves, but I also enjoy them in a good honey-mustard dip.

    One tip about the stems–they make a great handle for moving the dandelion from the batter to the oil and then to your plate! Just bite off the flower and discard the stem when you eat it.

    I have been wanting to try fried dandelions but hadn’t gotten around to Googling a recipe yet. Someone had said they taste a bit like fried morels, and since I’ve had no success finding those in our woods, I really am curious to try these. Thank you so much!

      ummmm I’m not so sure they taste like fried morals. At least not the way we fry them. I just slice morals and sauteed them in butter.
      But definitely try the dandelions 🙂
