Yield:
5 cups asparagus sticks1/2 cup dip

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cold water

  • cup yellow cornmeal

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • cup cornstarch

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • Vegetable oil for deep-fat frying

  • 1 pound green, white, and/or purple asparagus, trimmed

  • ½ cup Dijon-style mustard

  • 2 tablespoon snipped fresh dill weed

  • 2 tablespoon honey

Directions

  1. Place an ovenproof dish in oven. Preheat oven to 200°F. For batter, in a large bowl whisk together the water, cornmeal, flour, cornstarch, egg, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Batter will be lumpy.

Carefully slide coated spears into hot oil. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness of spears, until golden. Remove with tongs.
