📝 Preparation Steps
1
Start by cutting the whole head of cauliflower down into florets so they're in bite sized pieces; then add them to a steamer pot. Cover the lid and steam the cauliflower until it is fork tender; approximately ⏱️ 5 minutes after the water comes to a boil.
2
Remove the cauliflower from the pot and place on a baking sheet lined with paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
3
In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, cheese, salt, garlic powder and egg; then whisk until the batter is smooth. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.

Test the oil to make sure it's hot by adding a drop of batter or water to the oil. If the oil "pops", it's hot enough to start frying.
5
Dip each floret into the batter; then place in the pan to start frying. Repeat for all pieces making sure each piece touches the pan and are not overlapping. Fry for approximately ⏱️ 5-7 minutes; turning as each side turns golden brown.
6
Remove the cauliflower; then drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. If you'd like, you can also sprinkle a little extra grated cheese on top.
