Grandma Nickie's Deep-Fried Cauliflower

Grandma Nickie's Deep-Fried Cauliflower

My Grandma Nickie used to make this deep-fried cauliflower treat, and we could never get enough! After many attempts, I managed to copy her recipe. Both my boys asked me to teach them to make it. My family loves eating this with fish.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups oil for frying, or as needed
  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk

Directions

Step 1
Heat 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.

Step 3
Whisk egg and vegetable oil together in a separate bowl. Whisk in flour and milk until batter is smooth.

Step 4
Working in batches, drop cauliflower florets into batter; stir to coat.

Step 5
Working in batches, gently lower battered cauliflower into preheated oil; fry until florets rise to the top and float, 2 to 4 minutes. Carefully turn pieces over and continue frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer fried cauliflower to a paper towel-lined plate.

Tips

For darker, crunchier cauliflower, fry for a longer period of time.
