Stuff 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each zucchini blossom and pinch the ends closed. Mix rice flour, eggs, milk, sparkling water, sweet rice flour, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Place stuffed blossoms in flour mixture; toss gently until covered. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Fry blossoms in oil until crisp and pale golden brown, about 2 minutes. Rest blossoms on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Cook's Notes: To avoid tearing, be gentle while stuffing the delicate flowers. Ricotta cheese can be substituted for mozzarella. This version doesn't use baking powder but you can add a teaspoon to puff the batter like a tempura. There are many variations of this antipasto. Some add a piece of anchovy or even sun dried tomatoes. Use your imagination! Editor's Note: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
