01 Step
Recipe View 8 mins Prepare the Cauliflower: In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the cauliflower florets and cook until they are tender-crisp, about 5-8 minutes. (Timing may vary based on floret size).
02 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Cool and Drain: Immediately remove the cauliflower from the boiling water and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, thoroughly drain the cauliflower and pat dry with paper towels. (This ensures maximum crispiness!).
03 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Heat the Oil: In a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for best results.
04 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Prepare the Breading Station: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In a separate shallow dish, place the cracker crumbs and season generously with salt and pepper.
05 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Bread the Cauliflower: One at a time, dip each cauliflower floret into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dredge the floret in the cracker crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat until all florets are breaded.
06 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Fry to Golden Perfection: Carefully lower the breaded cauliflower florets into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the fryer. Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy. (Maintain oil temperature during frying).
07 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Drain and Serve: Remove the fried cauliflower from the oil using a slotted spoon or spider and place on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season immediately with additional salt and pepper to taste.
