REALITY?: Fried Squash Blossoms
Well I learned the difference between a male squash blossom and a female blossom. The male have a stamen which is pinched off before dipping in batter and frying. Good, not outstanding. Very light and airy and I think there’s more batter than blossom being tasted here.
What I might try next time is to stuff the blossom with cheese, mushrooms, something spicy perhaps, then dip and fry.
