Blooming Onion From POPSUGAR Food Refrigerate the onion before frying; the breading will adhere more easily. INGREDIENTS For blooming onion: 1 large sweet yellow onion, such as Vidalia 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon seasoned salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder Freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 cup whole milk 1 gallon corn oil Salt, to taste For dipping sauce: 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 tablespoons sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons ketchup 1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon drained horseradish 1/4 teaspoon paprika Pinch of cayenne pepper Salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper DIRECTIONS Cut the top of the onion; place it cut-side down, and, using a sharp knife, make 1/2-inch cuts in a circular motion to create \"petals.\" Flip the onion over and, using your hands, begin coaxing apart its layers. In a large bowl, combine flour, cayenne, paprika, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Place the onion cut-side down in the bowl, cover with a plate, and shake to coat onion and each \"petal.\" Meanwhile, in a separate medium bowl, mix eggs with milk. Dip onion in egg wash cut-side down; shake off excess egg wash and return onion to flour mixture to coat a second time. Shake off any excess flour. In a deep-fryer or a heavy Dutch oven, heat oil to 375ºF, adding enough oil so that the entire onion will be able to float. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine dip ingredients until well-mixed. Set aside. In the deep-fryer or Dutch oven, add the onion cut-side down in the oil for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the onion and allow it to fry for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the batter is golden brown. Move it to a plate covered in paper towels to drain off excess oil and season with a little salt. Serve immediately with sauce.
