Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2/3 cup cold water
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1 garlic clove, pressed
3 tbsp sweet onions, minced
3 bell peppers, minced ( sweet cayennes
3 tbsp fresh basil , julienned
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, fresh ground
6 squash blossoms , stamen removed if male & pistil removed if female, ends trimmed but left as a handle
1/2 quart peanut oil (or more )

Directions:

Mix batter until just smooth & chill 30 minutes (up to 2 days if covered in the fridge).
Mix the stuffing lightly.
Trim the blossoms after rinsing under cold running water - dry upside down on a paper towel first.
Stuff blossoms with about 1/6 of the mix - try not to tear them when stuffing (be gentle!). It's OK if they tear though - just batter that area well after squeezing the torn edges together - will do fine.
Heat oil at least 3 inches deep - a 2 quart saucepan is nice if not using a deep fat fryer. Goal 350 - 375 degrees.
Dip the stuffed blossom in the chilled batter & put in oil blossom end down with the petals folded in over the filling. Fry 2 at a time if using the saucepan - otherwise what your fryer will hold without dropping temp (mine will do 2 or 3 at a time). fry until the petals turn a dark orange, slightly brown, at the tips - OK if they unfurl some - they are just crispier that way. About 3 - 5 minutes a potload.
Remove from oil, drain & serve immediately with minced sweet pepper & julienned basil as a garnish.
