Preparation:
Place oil in a 6-quart saucepan and heat to 370 degrees.
Place flour in a mixing bowl and whisk in champagne a little at a time to form a light batter. Remove the petals from the roses and dip them 2 at a time into the batter and then drop them into the oil to fry. Cook until golden brown on both sides and remove carefully to a paper towel. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Comments: You will need a spider to retrieve the fried flowers quickly.
