TO MAKE THE VEGAN HONEE MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE:
-
Whisk together the ingredients and set aside.
FOR FRYING:
-
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Test with a pinch of flour and if it sizzles, it’s ready. Food will absorb more oil if it is too cool. Too hot and it will scorch.
-
Take a few pieces at a time from the buttermilk mixture and drop in the flour. Coat completely. Quickly coat in the buttermilk again and thoroughly coat in the flour mixture.
-
Gently place into the oil, toss occasionally and remove with a strainer when golden brown to paper towels to drain any excess oil.
