What else can we deep fry? How about some broccoli!
Yield: Serves 4
1 cup Gold Medal™ self-rising flour

1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup regular or nonalcoholic beer
4 cups fresh broccoli florets
Vegetable oil for deep frying
1/2 cup ranch dressing
In large bowl, mix flour, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, cheese and beer with whisk until smooth. Add broccoli; toss until well coated with batter.
