This variation on pancakes uses the yellow puffs of the dandelion, a good source
of Vitamin A. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder and salt. In a
separate bowl, beat egg, then mix with milk or water and olive oil. Combine with
dry mixture. Stir in yellow flowers carefully, taking care not to crush them.
Lightly spray a griddle or frying pan with vegetable oil. Heat until thoroughly
warmed. Pour batter onto griddle by spoonfuls and cook like pancakes. Makes 10
fritters.
