3. Beat the egg with the flour and a pinch of salt and dilute with milk to obtain a creamy batter.
4. Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a large frying pan for several minutes in order to get it up to the optimum frying temperature, dip the stuffed flowers in the batter and lower gently into the boiling oil. Fry until the flowers are crisp and golden.
Only fry a few flowers at a time, drain them on absorbent paper and serve while hot.
