Artichokes in Batter with Hot Mustard Sauce

Ingredients:
14 oz. can artichoke hearts

Batter:
1/2 cup flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
Dash of salt and pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp lemon juice

Mustard Sauce:
2-3 Tbsp dry mustard
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp vinegar
1 egg
1 tsp butter

Oil for frying.

Directions:

Cut each artichoke heart into 4-6 pieces. Sift flour and baking powder. Add rest of batter
ingredients and beat until smooth. Coat artichoke pieces with batter and deep fry in hot oil (about
375F) until golden brown on all sides. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towel. Serve
immediately with mustard sauce. (If desired, artichokes can be held in foil in warm oven for 1
hour.)

To make the Mustard Sauce, mix dry mustard and sugar. Add vinegar, then egg. Heat over low heat
until thick, stirring constantly. Mixture will be lumpy. Remove from heat and add butter. Cool,
then strain. May be refrigerated and kept several weeks.
