Recipe: Batter Fried Zucchini Sticks

These were my favorite from last evening's supper of appetizers. Mr. Big Food used baby round zucchini. (Photo at the link.)

BATTER FRIED ZUCCHINI STICKS

Makes 2 dozen

1 C sifted flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 C milk
2 Tbsp oil, plus more for deep frying
1 lb zucchini, cut into 3-4 inch strips
Flour (for dredging zucchini strips, if desired)

Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Combine egg, milk, and 2 Tbsp oil, and slowly add to dry ingredients, beating until smooth. Pat zucchini strips very dry and, if desired, dredge lightly in flour. Heat oil in deep fryer to 375o. Dip zucchini pieces one at a time in batter and fry 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
