Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the canister.

Add a dash of milk to the canister.

Season with salt and black pepper.

Blend the dressing with a stick blender until smooth, about 20 seconds.

Set the blue cheese dressing aside for later.

In a bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, celery seed, and black pepper.

Add half a cup of plain flour to the bowl.

Pour in some water to loosen the mixture and whisk to create a batter.

Dump the cauliflower florets into the batter and coat them well.

Heat oil to about 170°C (338°F).

Fry the cauliflower until crispy.

While frying, prepare the buffalo sauce by mixing hot sauce with butter.

Once the cauliflower is fried, drizzle the buffalo sauce over it and toss to coat.

Serve the cauliflower with the blue cheese dressing on the side.
