Default Elderflower time again..... Fritters to you

I thought those with elder trees, or access to them, might like to have
this:
ELDERFLOWER CORDIAL

snip recipie

Elderflower fritters

An early summer delicacy and very easy to make.

Ingredients
200g Plain Flour

250ml (half pint) milk
medium sized egg
Elderflower Heads - 2-3 per person - with enough of a stalk to hold onto
50g sugar
Salt and pepper


Mix all the ingredients apart from the elderflower

Heat some oil in a pan or deep fat fryer, Dip flower head in batter and fry
until golden brown

A pinch of cinnamon can be added to the batter to add extra flavour and the
fritters can be rolled in sugar although this is not always needed if there
is sugar in the batter
