Create the filling by combining the cheese, garlic scapes, lavender, and pepper in a small mixing bowl.

Make the batter by combining the beer, flour, and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl. The batter should be runny. If it’s not, add water 1 teaspoon at a time.

Prepare the blossoms by cutting a lengthwise slit on the side of the flower and gently cleaning away any dirt inside. Fill each blossom with 1 tablespoon of the filling. Twist the ends to seal.

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (177°C).

Gently dip each filled blossom in the batter. Carefully place each in the oil. Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 3 minutes longer. Place briefly on a paper towel–lined plate to drain and serve warm.
