Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Italian Fried Artichokes
- Begin by cleaning the artichokes thoroughly. Trim off tough leaves and cut them into quarters. Soak in water mixed with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/3 cup of flour, milk, and salt until smooth. This is the batter for coating the artichokes.
- Remove soaked artichokes, pat dry, and dredge in remaining flour. Dip in batter, allowing excess to drip off.
- In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy to ensure proper frying.
- Carefully add battered artichokes to the oil, frying in small batches for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Remove artichokes with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.
