Open zucchini blossoms (make sure yours have not been sprayed with insecticide) and fill with paste. Tie ends of petals at top as if tying a bandana.

Beat egg yolk until light and golden.
- Step 4
Beat whites until moderately stiff. Fold into yolk along with beer.
- Step 5
Dredge stuffed blossoms in flour, then dip to coat well with batter.
