Directions
For the sauce:
Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan. Mix well and bring to a boil, stirring often. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the ranch dip:
Place all of the ranch ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Chill in the refrigerator.
For the cauliflower:
Preheat the oven to 425ºF.
Break the cauliflower into bite size florets. Place the florets, in a single layer, on baking sheets. Place them in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for a bit.
In a bowl, thoroughly mix the flour and the remaining ingredients, except the oil for frying. Add the cauliflower florets and gently mix to coat.
Heat the oil in a fryer of high sided pot to 400ºF.
Fry the battered florets, in batches, in the hot oil for 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat for remaining batches.
Toss the florets with the sauce and serve with the ranch dip.
