Instructions

1. INGREDIENTS: - 4 cups of cauliflower - 1/2 cup of white flour - 2 tbsp baking powder - 2 tbsp cornstarch - 1 tbsp garlic powder - 1 tsp cayenne pepper - 1/3 cup water + more for thinning - Oil for frying - 1/2 cup buffalo or hot sauce for topping - Vegan ranch or blue cheese for dipping

2. PREPARATION: - Chop your cauliflower into bite-size pieces.

3. MAKE THE BATTER: - Combine the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, cornstarch, garlic, cayenne) in a large bowl. - Mix with a whisk or fork until they're evenly combined. - Add 1/3 cup of water to the bowl. Whisk until a thick batter forms (it should be like pancake batter). - If it's too thick, continue adding water about 2 tbsp at a time until you get to the desired consistency.

4. FRY THE CAULIFLOWER: - Heat the oil in a large pot on the stove, over medium heat. (I used a 12-inch sauce pot and heated about 2-inches of oil in the pot.) - Coat the cauliflower bites in the batter, then drop them in the hot oil. - Fry the cauliflower until they're golden brown, then remove them from the oil and place on a drying rack to cool. - Repeat with the rest of the cauliflower.

5. GET SAUCY: - Once the cauliflower is done frying, toss them in about 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce. - Serve immediately with a side of vegan ranch or blue cheese.

6. TIPS & TRICKS: - You should be able to fit a lot of cauliflower in your pot, but make sure to not overcrowd the pot. You don't want them to really be touching or on top of each other.
