Method

  1. 1 Simply pick the clusters of white acacia flowers that are in bloom and do not wash them with water; just gently shake them to remove the dust.
  2. 2 Washing the flowers with water will make them wilt and lose their fragrance, so just shake them and check for any defects visually.
  3. 3 Mix the flour with the egg yolks, beer, and sugar to form a thin paste, then let it rest for 15 minutes.
  4. 4 Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form, then gently mix them into the paste to make it light and fluffy.
  5. 5 Take the flower stem, dip it into the paste, then immediately drop it into 170-degree oil.
  6. 6 Fry for 60 seconds until lightly golden, then squeeze with lemon juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately while hot.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 29 min

    Replace step 6: spray fine oil onto the flower clusters that have been dipped in glue, fry in an air fryer at 195 degrees for 5 minutes, flip very gently at the 3rd minute, and then sift sugar immediately after removing.
