DIRECTIONS
- 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1 cup corn flour
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large eggs

DIRECTIONS
- Add the broccoli florets to a large pot of boiling water. Cook for 4-5 min. and then immediately drain and plunge the florets into ice water. Remove from ice water and leave the blanched florets to drain off excess liquid.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, beer, and spices.
- In a deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 375°F. Dip the broccoli florets in the batter, tossing well to coat. Then fry broccoli in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
