Wash blossoms free of dirt and bugs. Pat dry. In a wide bowl, mix egg yolk
well into ice water using a wooden spoon. Then dump flour in all at once,
stirring quickly. The batter will be lumpy. Holding blossoms by the stem,
drag them through the batter and drop into the hot fat, frying each one

unitl it browns. Remove eack blossom and place on a wire rack on a sheet
pan and keep warm in the oven until all are fried. Salt lightly and serve
immediately.
