FRIED ELDERBERRY BLOSSOMS This sounds like a joke but it is a perfectly serious dish — I made its acquaintance at the table of a little inn' in South Baden, on the shores of Lake Constance. First you must wait until the elderberry bushes are in full bloom. Then you gather a good sized bunch of themr — and cut off each blossom just below the point where the little stems join the main stalk. These you dip into a light egg batter
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
