  • Clean the pumpkin blossoms and remove their pistil. Stuff them with the creamed salted cod.
  • Prepare the batter with 100 g beer, 100 g oil, 100 g flour and one egg white.
  • Dip the stuffed blossoms in the batter so that they get completely covered. Fry them in a pan with a generous amount of hot groundnut oil.
