INSTRUCTIONS

In a bowl whisk together flour and salt. Whisk in 1 cup seltzer, whisking
until smooth, and let batter stand 10 minutes. If necessary, thin batter
with enough remaining seltzer to reach consistency of crepe batter. Stuff
each blossom with 1 mozzarella stick and 1 anchovy fillet, pressing ends of
blossoms closed. In a deep heavy skillet heat 1 inch oil to 375 degrees on
a deep-fat thermometer. Working quickly in batches, dip blossoms in batter,
coating each completely, and fry in hot oil, turning, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes,
or until golden and crisp. With a slotted spoon transfer blossoms as fried
to paper towels to drain. (Make sure oil returns to 375 degrees before
adding each new batch.) Sprinkle blossoms with salt to taste and serve
warm. This recipe yields 16 fried zucchini blossoms.
