Dandelion Fritters

Fresh dandelion heads (make batter just after picking and cleaning dandelions)

1 egg
1/2 c evaporated milk
1 c flour
A little "pinch" of stevia (stevia is very sweet so just a tiny, tiny bit)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Stir all ingredients together to make the batter.

Sprinkle EVOO one time around the pan and warm over medium heat.

Dip dandelion heads into batter by holding the head by the green base near the flower petals. Cover the entire flower with batter.

Drop into skillet flower side down. Continue process till you have the amount you would like to eat.

When they are lightly browned flip them over and brown other side.

When they are brown put them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Then put them on your plate and drizzle with maple syrup.
