Ingredients

  • 1?head?cauliflower?cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1?cup?all-purpose flour
  • ??cup?cornstarch
  • 1?teaspoon?baking powder
  • ??teaspoon?salt
  • 1?cup?water
  • 1?tablespoon?hot sauce?such as Frank's
  • 2?cups?breadcrumbs?Italian seasoned
  • oil?for frying

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Stir in water and hot sauce until the batter is smooth.
  • Take each cauliflower piece and give it a good dunk in the batter, making sure it's evenly coated. Let the excess batter drip off. Roll the battered cauliflower in the breadcrumbs until they're completely covered.
  • Heat your deep fryer to 365¡ãF (185¡æ). Fry the cauliflower pieces in batches until they're golden and crispy.
  • Drain them on paper towels to get rid of any extra oil. Sprinkle a little salt over them if you like ¨C it's optional.

Notes

  1. No Deep Fryer, No Problem: If you don't have a deep fryer, you can still make this recipe in a deep skillet or a heavy-bottomed pot. Just fill it with enough oil to cover the cauliflower pieces and use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
  2. Oil Temperature is Key: Maintaining the correct oil temperature (365¡ãF/185¡ãC) is crucial for getting that perfect crispy texture. If the oil is too cool, the cauliflower will absorb too much oil and become greasy; if it's too hot, it will burn on the outside before cooking through.
  3. Season to Taste: Feel free to adjust the seasoning in the batter or add extra spices to the breadcrumbs to suit your taste. A little garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even some grated Parmesan can add a great flavor boost.
