DIRECTIONS
- Mix all dry ingredients together.
- Onion may be sliced like a blossom by cutting the top 1/4 off, the top has the stem.
- Then peel and be very careful to leave the root intact.
- Carefully slice from the top of the onion down but stop about 1/2" before you get to the root, taking care not to cut through the root.
- Slice the rest of the onion like a pie into many servings.
- When complete, soak onion in cold ice water for 1/2 hr.
- so the onion's petals will start to open up and bloom.
- Drain onion and dip in flour mixture and dust well.
- Dip onion then in buttermilk and back in flour mixture.
- Place in hot oil and fry until golden.
- Oil should cover onion.
- When done drain well and place on plate and cut center out of onion so the petals may easily be removed.
- Dipping Sauce: Mix all together and serve in the middle of the onion blossom.
- Garnish with paprika and just a dash of red pepper.
