Elderflower Fritters

With the elderflower season well under way in UK I was desperate to try the following recipe from Gastronomy Domine, a blogger based in Cambridge, UK.... I thought it might be a good accompaniment to strawberry granita but thought better of it.... instead it makes for a great appetizer... a great start to a party or barbeque.

Follow Gastronomy Domine's recipe and you shouldn't go far wrong. The only changes I made was to leave the stalks on the elderflowers. This enables you to cook and serve the fritters easily - just remember to tell your guests to not eat the stalks.
