Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 500 g Cauliflower - cut into wing-sized florets of equal size
  • 130 g Plain Flour - you can substitute with Gluten Free flour
  • 2 tbsp Cornflour
  • 240 ml Milk - dairy-free, (unsweetened)
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds
  • ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper
  • 120 ml Hot Sauce - I used Frank's Hot Sauce

Glaze

  • 1 tbsp Butter - vegan, melted
  • 60 ml Sweet chilli sauce
  • 60 ml Hot sauce - of your choice (I like Frank's Red Hot). You can just use all Hot Sauce or all sweet chilli if you'd prefer
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup

Blue Cheeze Dip

  • ½ cup Vegan mayo - (garlic flavoured if available)
  • ¼ cup Natural yogurt - vegan, unsweetened
  • 100 g Blue cheese - vegan, crumbled
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

To make the wings

  • Preheat oven to 200c.
  • Lightly oil a large baking sheet that has been lined with baking parchment.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, tapioca starch (or cornflour), paprika, cayenne pepper, sesame seeds, sriracha and black pepper to form a smooth batter. It should be thick enough to coat the florets evenly.
  • Drop the cauliflower florets into the batter and coat throughly.
  • Arrange the coated florets on the baking sheet so that they aren't touching.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the florets over.
  • Bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the glaze ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Remove the Buffalo wings from the oven and coat thoroughly in the glaze.
  • Return to oven for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and leave to stand for about 10 minutes before serving with the dip!
    Sprinkle with a little chopped chilli or spring onion.

Vegan Blue Cheese Dip

  • To make the blue sauce, blend all the ingredients together in a food processor or whisk it with a fork in a bowl, testing for seasoning. You may or may not need to salt the dip, depending on how salty your cheeze/mayo is.
  • Serve with some celery, cucumber, radish for extra dipping.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
