FRIED ZUCCHINI FLOWERS

We've all seen these funny looking flowers at this time of the year at the produce department of the grocery store and wondered what they are. They are zucchini flowers and they are edible. I have have a quick recipe for these delicate flowers. They make great appetizers.
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of water (or beer)
1 small square of mozzarella, feta or blue cheese (your preference)
1 cup of olive oil for frying.
Wash and pat dry the flowers. Mix water (beer) with flour to make a smooth paste (it should be loose). Carefully open the soft end (the orange part) of the flower and place a small piece of cheese inside the hollow area and gently twist the ends closed. Dip to coat the filled flowers and fry them in olive oil until all sides are golden brown. They are delicious. Wash them down with your appletini in your favorite spot.
