EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Self-rising flour works best in this recipe, but if you can’t find it, you can substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Be sure to not crowd the fryer or pan, only frying several florets at a time.

Try beer-battering and deep-frying other vegetables, such as green beans, cauliflower florets or zucchini or yellow squash slices.

This was terrible. Waste of oil and good broccoli. The broccoli was too hard, had no flavor, and tasted like a total grease bomb. Nobody ate them and we threw it all away.
