Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, milk, salt, and black pepper until the batter is smooth and thick enough to coat cauliflower florets.
  2. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring they are fully covered. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Cook for 13-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  4. Combine melted butter and buffalo sauce in a bowl. Stir until blended.

  6. Serve immediately on a platter, garnished with fresh herbs, and enjoy!
