Method:

  1. In a large bowl put the flour, add the sparkling water to it slowly stirring together between each pour to make a smooth batter, add the cordial and finish stirring.
  2. Whisk the egg white in to this batter mixture
  3. Pour a little oil in a non-stick pan and bring up to a medium heat
  4. Dip the elderflower head (the flower side) in to the batter mix, using the stalk like a handle to hold, give it a quick shake over the bowl to remove any excess batter mixture
  5. Put the battered head in to the pan of hot oil and allow to cook until golden brown, maximum of 3 minutes
  6. Take off, let it cool for 30 seconds and enjoy warm
