## 👩🍳 How to Make Crispy Dandelion Fritters
### Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk.
### Step 2: Combine Greens and Batter
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mix, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped dandelion leaves and blossoms.
### Step 3: Fry to Crispy Perfection
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, flattening slightly. Fry until golden brown and crisp—about 3 minutes per side.
### Step 4: Drain & Serve
Transfer fritters to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with a dipping sauce like spicy aioli or a tangy yogurt dip.
