Leave a comment on Nathalie’s delicious doughnuts
Internet cooks tell you to dip whole elderflower florets in batter before putting them in the deep fryer. But in My friend the eldertree, Nathalie’s recipe for mini fritters is promoted. Start by detaching small bunches from the highbushes and dipping only the flowers in the batter before frying them in a pan with their tails up. This way you can eat only the coated flowers, holding the stems between two fingers, and avoid mixing their delicious fragrance with that of the green stems, which some people compare to the smell of cat’s pee!
