Boil or steam them for only <strong>5\u20137 minutes<\/strong>. They should be &#8220;al dente&#8221; (firm to the bite), not mushy. Drain well and let them cool for a moment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Chop:<\/strong> Roughly chop the steamed florets into pea-sized pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Batter:<\/strong> In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cheese, flour, garlic, and herbs. Stir in the chopped cauliflower until everything is coated.<strong>Tip:<\/strong> If the mixture feels too wet to hold a shape, add one more tablespoon of flour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Fry:<\/strong> Heat oil in a pan over <strong>medium heat<\/strong>. Drop a large tablespoon of the mixture into the pan and flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Gold:<\/strong> Fry for <strong>3\u20134 minutes per side<\/strong> until they are deep golden brown and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udca1 Why These are So Addictive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Nutmeg Factor:<\/strong> Cauliflower and nutmeg are a classic pairing. It highlights the natural sweetness of the vegetable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Cheese Crust:<\/strong> The cheese in the batter caramelizes against the hot pan, creating a &#8220;lace&#8221; of crispy edges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udc75 Grandma\u2019s &#8220;Speedy&#8221; Serving Sauce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the fritters are frying, mix this in a bowl for the perfect dip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u00bd cup<\/strong> Sour cream or Greek yogurt<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 tsp<\/strong> Lemon juice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1 tsp<\/strong> Honey or Maple syrup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt &amp; Pepper<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83e\udd67 Pro Tip: The &#8220;Crisp&#8221; Secret<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To get them extra fluffy, you can separate the eggs and <strong>whisk the egg whites to soft peaks<\/strong> before folding them into the cauliflower mix.
