{Acacia Flower Fritters - Beignets de Fleurs d'Acacia}

We all learn from each other and so I learned from the last comment, written by Nathalie Santa Maria from France on my post about Our Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust after the rain. Nathalie posts about: Birdwatching and Photography - Refuge LPO  ←(click it)

She pointed out that the flowers are being used to make Fritters, or Beignets in French.

Also by +Rowena Dumlao-Giardina I found the recipe in English in her blog post: Fiori d'Acacia Fritti (Fried Black Locust Flowers) and the Medieval Town & Castle of Gradara ←(click)

Did any of you ever cook with these Acacia - Black Locust Flowers?

Also gratitude from birds, residing on our property...
Building their nests, raising their young ones and singing their happy songs!

In April we did have still lots of rain, like at the end of March while we were in Arizona.

Not so positive for a lot of blossoms...

Our Robinia pseudoacacia - Black Locust after the rain...

Husband Pieter could make this photo in the afternoon on April 15.

Full of rain drops...

Funny thing was that the tree only had blossoms on one side!

Weeds alongside the creek grow very well in all the rain!

The neighboring tree is the Acer Negundo Kelly's Gold Yellow Box Elder

At the moment we suffer a severe drought...
