I never fry things, so this was somewhat fun to do for a change. I topped them with a bit of smoked pimenton and took up your idea of the salad and served them with a bean, corn, tomato and basil salad and some fingerlings with butter and garlic chives. This was delightful on a blisteringly hot day. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration…I made these tonight and was very pleased. I never fry things, so this was somewhat fun to do for a change.

As for the coating, I didn't use breadcrumbs at all - I just coated the stuffed blossoms in flour, then dipped them in buttermilk, then dipped them in flour again and fried them. I loved how the coating came out - substantial but not too heavy, and with a great crunch. Thanks, Joey!

I read this post last night, and then in Tomkins Square today I saw a bunch of squash blossoms, so I picked them up and tried your recipe with a friend. It was really fun to make the dish (one of us opening the flower, the other stuffing it), and it was also super-tasty! I just want to know how you manage to get such a thick-looking coating on them. Ours still looked sorta green at the end of the frying (and the breadcrumbs lit my pan on fire several times). Thanks so much for your blog, it's a real treat every time! Hey!

I was feeling lazy... I'm glad these were delicious however, maybe next time! I was contemplating stuffing squash blossoms recently, but the I decided I would use them to stuff squashes instead!

I've always wanted to make squash-blossom fritters, but never have. I think you may have inspired me, too. :) Oh yum. I’ve always wanted to make squash-blossom fritters, but never have.
