should do. Heat it up and meanwhile, dip an entire elderflower head into the
batter. Put as many battered elderflowers as you can fit into the pan. After
a few minutes of frying turn the fritters over using the fish slice. When
the fritters are golden brown on both sides, they're ready to be lifted out

to mop up the oil. These fritters are especially tasty with rose hip syrup
or rose petal syrup.
