I only need to make one (1) Bloomin onion. Would you please assist me with adjusting the ingredients? IF possible, I'd like to serve this with tonight's dinner. I apologize for the lateness of my request. Thank you! Sharon

To get the batter to stick, I dredge through seasoning flour, then batter, then back through seasoning flour and drop into my fry daddy!
