Deep Fried Elderflowers: Keeping Family Traditions Alive!

Today I will teach you how to make them using my grandma’s recipe. Don’t forget to check out our channels community tab for a hand written copy of my grandma’s recipe.

****** About Living Traditions Homestead ******
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Shalom! Looks deliiiiiiish…thank you all for sharing.

Such an awesome recipe. Being from your grandma makes it even more special. Thank you for sharing!! I wish my grandma had written her recipes down. We have spice apple trees and I can remember growing up eating her spice sugar apples!! They were amazing and I wish I could "remake" them for my kids. I just inherited the family farm where my great grandparents raised 15 children. I am hoping I can find some hand written recipes hidden away somewhere. 😀 Have a wonderful weekend!
I saw a recipe the other day. Thanks for the video to show. I’d never heard of it before. Can you use the bigger blossoms? I assume you do it before the berries actually start to form from all flowers, right?
I grew up with these flowers in Pennsyltucky and NEVER knew you could eat them! Daaang, looks like I am missing out! You won’t find them here in suburban Mesa, AZ! 🙁
Now that’s my kinda flower ….
This would be a hit at the Farmers Market! Have you thought about doing that?
Takes me back to some things my grandma made when I was young 😃 She always made elderberry jelly.
Yep. If we don’t pass these "Traditions" on, they’re LOST! I’m a generation before yours and, sadly, MY Grandmother didn’t leave any written record. All I have is what I could learn from my Mom before she passed…..sigh.
THANKS FOR SHARING THIS RECIPE , LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING IT.
HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY 😎👍🏻
Thank you. I found your other video where you foraged for them. I live in Illinois right over the river and we have tons of them. I wanted to come see you at farmers market this spring but couldn’t make it. Maybe next year. You guys are precious. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences.
looks like ya might have a new family favorite…..
Thank you I just tried that deep-fried elderflowers recipe yesterday and it was good I did like it thank you
Hey Kevin,
I am not sure where you put your grandmothers recipe for the Elders flower deep fried.
Thank you!!! I really injoy watching your videos….
My Mom used to fry Pumpkin Blooms, we loved them and they were such a treat. I had forgotten until I saw your video. Thanks.
None of these recipes of course we’re termed with the same name that your mother new it by. Apparently your mother’s version probably has some ethnic history behind it, I am assuming.
Hollerküchel is what it’s called 🙂
My flowers should be done drying…going to try this! Thank you!
Very reminiscent of my sister’s Queen Anne’s Lace fritters, only she uses a slightly thicker batter.
I was watching your video and was thinking how you sound just like a friend of mine. I was wondering if you were from Wisconsin. Then I read the description of the video. What part of Wisconsin are you from. My friend is from Eagle River area and I’m from Door County.
In Germany these would be sprinkled with powdered sugar. Much as an American funnel cake, or. Schneeballen (snowball.)
Hi guys 🤗 sending you a big HELLO from Australia 🇦🇺….I’ve been watching your channel for a few months now but have never commented. We’ve a huge elderberry Bush in our backyard which have the biggest heads of flowers on them at the moment! I can’t wait to try your grandmas recipe!! They look crunchy and soo different? Do you have to wait til a certain time to pick the flowers?
I’m loving your channel guys!! So full of great information!
Well done 👍🏻 ~ Adele
THank you for making this video! They look awesome, I think I will need to make these with my kids 😋
A wonderful sentiment and absolutely true. Glad your girls enjoyed them as much as you did. God Bless ~Lisa
Sweet!
Jola means purple flowers
I just love to watch ya’lls videos . they always get me in a better mood if I’m depressed.I closed my eyes watching this one and I was right there sitting on the picnic table waiting for the Holunder to get done!!!
Keep em coming guys, love ya’ll! !
Where do I find the community tab? I love you guys! I’m hooked!
Can’t find recipe/ I’m new to youtube
What a great family tradition! Your girls are so fortunate to be learning this.
German Holunderbluten – my Dad who grew up in a German family loved these too
You can also use zucchini blossoms , Italian, can use a vegetable dip
I know a place with 4 rows of elderberry plants. My hubby worked there and 2 of my sisters want some. He got both a large bucket half full and they made jelly and one pie. Purple teeth reined.
😍😍😍😍
Yum
I’ve heard where the berries are made into a cough syrup. Suppose to be very good . Have got to the berries in time to try this. The birds love them too.
How wonderful to pass on your Grandmother’s recipe….our youth need that connection with their past. It looks wonderful, I’ll be out looking for Elder Flowers this weekend for sure. Thank you again for all these great video’s…I look forward to them each day. 🙂
Did you forage these flowers or are they from a propagated variety and does it matter? Thank you. Love your videos!
Pretty cool
will try this weekend!
Thank you for this recipe, we have lots of elderflowers blooming at the moment and never though to do this with them, can’t wait to give this ago, looks truly scrummy. All the best from the UK xx
Pretty cool! I’ve never heard of this… I might have to sacrifice a few flowers for this… usually I let them go to berries and then steam extract… a great health tonic through the cold northern winters.
Thanks for sharing looks very good.
Y’all do realize that you’re a beautiful family, right? You’re building family memories for future use and dissemination, via your daughters, based on family history from the past. I love it! Keep perpetuating beauty y’all! I harvested some carrots today that weren’t doing very well. Tiny little boogers they are but I decided that there’s no time like the present to make some fermented carrots. Yeehaw! Let the Gut Games begin! God bless and keep y’all!
Awesome job of passing down a family tradition. Good on you Kevin.
How cool that you have your grandmothers cookbook! I want to try some squash blossoms in the air dryer because I’m trying to avoid deep frying these days.
Kevin and Sarah you are a blessing to watch!!! I cant say that enough. So many people of the world would never share a family recipe, and there you are Kevin sharing a family recipe. So generous in many ways.
Oh my gosh! My Elderberry are little babies but I will be sure to try this recipe! Thank you for passing your tradition to us!
What a beautiful tradition to pass on. Thank you for sharing it with us! We don’t have any elderberry bushes here, but I hope to plant some next year & see if they make it!
