Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

I made these on Friday for the first time for a friend's "girls night out" happy hour.  I am always hesitant to bring something to share when I haven't had it yet, but thankfully, they turned out "okay".  I made them again tonight with some minor changes and they are getting better.  The first night, based on the original cooking instructions, they weren't as crispy as I'd like.  Tonight, I added corn starch and cooked them on a broiler pan (to allow for air to get through) versus just a cookie sheet.  They were definitely better and more the texture I would like.  They may be perfect with a quick broil at the end to add that last minute crisp.


Ingredients:
1/2 of cauliflower head, cut into florets & rinsed
1 cup water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup corn starch
2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c Franks hot sauce
1/4 c Rockfish Johnnies Hot Sauce (if you don't have it, use hot sauce...but ask me where to get it!!)
1 tbsp melted unsalted butter
Light Blue Cheese Dressing

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Combine water, flower & corn starch in a bowl.  Mix well.
Add florets and combine well
Place mixture on broiler pan (note - line bottom of pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up & spray top with Pam cooking spray)
Cook in preheated oven for 20 minutes
While cauliflower is cooking, melt butter (with maybe 2 min left on cauliflower).  Then add hot sauce and Rockfish Johnnies Hot Sauce.  Mix well.
After 20 minutes, drizzle hot sauce mixture over cauliflower.  Place back in oven and cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve with a side of blue cheese dressing

Enjoy!
