Just found this on the innerwebs:
Fried dandelion flowers taste similar to morel mushrooms. They’re very tasty!
Ingredients:
dandelion blossoms with green base and stems removed (leave enough of the base on to hold the flower together)
1 cup milk
salt
1 egg
1 cup flour
vegetable oil
Directions:
Soak the dandelion flowers in a bowl of cool salt water to remove any bugs or debris. After they’ve soaked for around 1/2 hour, take them out of the water and gently blot the excess moisture away.
Heat enough oil to fry the dandelions you have.
While the oil is heating, make a batter using the milk, salt, egg and flour. Dip each flower into the batter, and toss it into the oil once it’s popping hot. Fry until they’re lightly browned.
Use a paper towel to gently blot away excess grease, and serve immediately. Yum!
