Drain the artichoke hearts from the can, add them to a mesh strainer; then run under cold water and dry on paper towels.
Gather three dipping bowls and fill one with the flour and cornstarch. In the second bowl, add the eggs and whisk; then add the breadcrumbs to the third bowl.
Dip each artichoke heart first into the flour mixture, then the egg and finally the breadcrumb and place on a plate. Repeat for all.
Add the oil to a large nonstick skillet and heat over medium high heat. The oil is hot enough when you add a drop of water to the pan and the oil "pops".
Carefully place the artichoke hearts into the oil and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes, flipping halfway until all sides are golden brown. You may need to do this in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan while cooking.
Line the plate with paper towels so that when the artichoke hearts are done, you can transfer them back to the plate to drain off any excess grease.
When ready to serve, add the Cuori di Carciofi Fritti to a serving platter along with your favorite dipping sauce and serve hot.
