Zucchini Flower Fritters

Piteie, cu’ fiore (Calabrian slang) is my favorite summer appetizer. When I was growing up, my mother would collect fresh zucchini flowers, and when she had gathered enough, she would make these delectable fritters. This recipe, which makes 36 pieces, may seem quite large, but when you eat the fritters along with family and friends, there are never any remaining on the serving platter.
