Categories: Appetisers, Vegetables, Sauces, Dairy
Yield: 10 Servings
1 lg White onion
2 1/2 c A-P flour
2 ts McCormick seasoned salt
1/2 ts Ground black pepper
1/4 ts Garlic powder
1 c Buttermilk
Oil; for frying
MMMMM----------------------DIPPING SAUCE-----------------------------
1/2 c Sour cream
2 tb Ketchup
1/2 ts McCormick seasoned salt
1/3 ts Ground red pepper
1 1/2 ts Horseradish
1/4 ts Paprika
Mix all dry ingredients together.
Cut the top 1/4 off the onion (the top has the stem). Then peel
the onion but make sure the root stays intact.
Carefully slice the onion from the top stopping about 1/2" above
the root (take care not to cut through the root). Slice the rest of
the onion like a pie.
Soak the onion in ice-cold water for about 30 minutes until the
onion's petals open up and bloom.
Heat oil to 350°F/175°C.
Drain the onion and dip in flour mixture and dust the onion to
cover the onion thoroughly.
Dip onion in buttermilk and back in flour mixture.
Place the onion in the hot oil and fry until golden. Oil should
cover onion.
When done, drain well and place the fried onion on a plate.
Cut the center out of the onion.
Sauce:
Mix all sauce ingredients together. Serve the sauce in a small
ramekin in the middle of the onion blossom.
Garnish with paprika and just a dash of red pepper.
