Method
Preparing the Buffalo Cauliflower
- 1
Prepare the Cauliflower
Preheat your oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the water until the mixture is smooth and has a thick consistency.
- 3
Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow the excess batter to drip off.
- 4
Fry the Cauliflower
Carefully place the battered cauliflower florets into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 5–7 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Toss in Buffalo Sauce
Transfer the fried cauliflower to a large bowl, pour the buffalo sauce over them, and toss gently to coat evenly.
Making the Bleu Cheese Dressing

Prepare the Dressing
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled bleu cheese, milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Mix Well
Stir the mixture until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more milk if necessary.

Chill
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
