Buffalo Cauliflower Recipe
Description
This Buffalo Cauliflower recipe uses cauliflower florets dipped in a seasoned batter made from flour, milk, water, cayenne and basic seasoning. After baking initially, the florets are brushed with buffalo sauce and baked again to intensify the flavor and crispiness. The baking process crisps the exterior while leaving the cauliflower tender inside, allowing the bold, spicy buffalo sauce to cling well. Served with blue cheese dip, the dish mimics traditional buffalo wings in flavor and texture but with a vegetable base. The recipe notes a medium heat level with a desirable zing and encourages using homemade buffalo sauce for preferred flavor. It's a straightforward method to enjoy buffalo flavor as a vegetarian option or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower florets only (core and stem removed, head

Notes
