1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk

About one cup flowers and chopped greens (pansies, violas, dandelion, dandelion leaves, garlic leaves, etc)

avocado oil, coconut oil, or lard for frying 

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Separately, whisk together milk, egg, and butter.
Add wet ingredients to dry and quickly stir just until there are no lumps. 
In a pan heat about 1/2 to 1 inch of oil until hot (very slightly rippling) reduce heat to medium or medium-low. Test cook a drop or two of batter. You want it to solidify right away, but not brown immediately. 
Gently fold your blossoms and greens into the fritter batter. 
Using a tablespoon dollop heaping scoops of batter into the hot oil. Cook until golden on bottom then flip and cook the other side.
Serve plain or with a dip such as garlic mayo.
