Fried Capers (Little Flowers) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup capers, drained and patted dry (less or more, depending on how many you want)
    1 cup vegetable oil
    kosher salt or sea salt
Preparation
    Heat oil to 365-75* F in a medium saucepan.
    If you haven't a thermometer, this is hot but definitely not smoking.
    Lower the capers, (I use a Chinese deep frying wire utensil) a few at a time, into the oil and fry until they suddenly pop open and look like little flower buds.
    Let them cook for a couple of seconds, remove, and drain on paper towels.
    Salt, sparingly, since they are salty already.
    Serve.
