Deep Fried Strawberries

I love strawberries but have never tried deep fried strawberries. I guess they deep can deep fry almost anything now. Im sure that it is really good but not to good for the diet! I know I couldn't stop at just one. I found the recipe on http://www.driscolls.com/recipes/view/7474/Deep-Fried-Strawberries There is 152.38 calories,total fat 7.22g,saturated fat 0.55g,cholesterol 0mg,sodium 198.96mg, fiber 1.44g, protein 2.29g. 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast 1/4 cup warm (110°F to 115°F) water 3/4 cup club soda or lemon lime soda 1 package (16 ounces) Driscoll's Strawberries (large or long-stem if available) Canola oil 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar Fresh mint, for garnish Instructions Whisk together flour and granulated sugar. Set aside. Combine yeast and warm water in a large bowl and whisk until yeast dissolves. Whisk in club soda or lemon lime soda. Whisk in flour mixture until smooth and blended. Cover loosely and let rest 1 hour. Meanwhile, remove calyx (green leaves on top) from strawberries but do not hull. Pat strawberries dry. Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Set aside. Place extra flour in a small bowl. Heat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy-duty saucepot to 375°F to 380°F (use a candy thermometer). Dip strawberries, one at a time, in bowl of flour, dusting off excess. Dip floured strawberries in batter and turn to coat (batter will be very thick). Carefully place in oil (using tongs or a long skewer) and fry until lightly golden all over (carefully stir with slotted spoon to evenly cook), 1 to 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining strawberries. Place fried strawberries on a platter, dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately. 6 - 8 servings
