  3. Sift the flour into a mixing bowl, make a well in the center, and add the salt and 1 tablespoon each of oil and water.

  4. Gradually mix into the flour, adding enough extra water to make a batter with a thick pouring consistency that will cling to the flowers.

  6. Dip 4-6 flowers in the batter and fry until golden brown on both sides.

  7. Drain on paper towels.
