Ingredients

• 1 head of cauliflower
• 4 flax eggs
• 1/2 cup of almond milk
• 2 tablespoons of hot sauce
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• Oil for frying. I used vegetable oil and needed about 4 cups. You want enough so that the cauliflower is at least halfway covered when in the pot.
• 1/2 cup of vegan butter, melted
• 2 tablespoon of the hot chicken rub (or use this recipe to make your own)
• 4-8 slices of white sandwich bread
• pickle slices

Directions

• Chop up the head of cauliflower into bite sized pieces. Set aside.
• In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the flax eggs, almond milk, and hot sauce.
• In a separate shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking powder, and salt.
• Heat your oil in a heavy bottomed pot over medium high heat. To test that its ready, drop a bit of the batter (wet ingredients mixed with the dry ingredients) into the pot. Once it floats to the top, the oil is ready.
• Prepare a place for the fried cauliflower to rest after it comes out of the oil. Ive found the best results by places a wire rack over top of a baking sheet and then placing a paper towel under the rack to collect some of the oil.
• Working in batches, dip the cauliflower pieces in the wet mixture, then dip each piece fully in the flour mixture. I do this TWO times per piece of cauliflower but you can also just do once.
• Gently place the cauliflower into the pot in a single layer. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side. Its done when the breading just begins to brown. While one batch is frying, prepare the next batch.
• Place the finished pieces on the wire rack to cool down.
• Once all of the cauliflower is fried, prepare the spice mix by whisking together the spices and the melted butter in a small bowl. Place the cauliflower in a large bowl and drizzly the butter mixture over top. Toss to combine.
• Serve the Hot Cauliflower on the bread and topped with the pickle slices.
• ENJOY!! (and have a good drink nearby!!)
