Directions
- Gently insert a piece of mozzarella and an anchovy inside each flower being careful not to break it. Twist the flower to close it.
- Make the batter just before you want to fry the flowers. Mix some sparkling water with flour to make the batter, it should be the consistency of pancake mixture.
