Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220 °C (conventional) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper and milk into a smooth batter.
- Toss the cauliflower florets in the batter until evenly coated, then spread them out on the tray with a little space between them.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through.
- Meanwhile, stir together the buffalo sauce, oil and honey and warm gently over a low heat until well combined.
- Brush the florets with the glaze and bake for another 20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp at the edges. Serve hot.
