Directions

Make the Dipping Sauce
In a bowl, mix sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Stir until smooth, cover, and chill in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Mix the Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, beer, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Coat the Cauliflower
Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting the excess drip off, then place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all florets are coated.
Bake Until Golden
Lightly spray the florets with cooking spray. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Add Buffalo Sauce
In a saucepan, melt the butter and mix it with Buffalo wing sauce. Remove the cauliflower from the oven, drizzle half of the sauce over the florets, and bake for another 5 minutes.
Toss and Serve
Transfer the cauliflower to the saucepan and toss until fully coated. Serve hot with blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks.

FAQs

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes! Swap all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend and use a gluten-free beer or sparkling water.

Can I air-fry them?

Definitely! Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, then toss in Buffalo sauce.

How spicy are they?

Medium-hot. Adjust the Buffalo sauce or mix with a little honey or barbecue sauce to tone it down.
