Preparation

Step 1

Slice the onions by cutting a tiny bit off of the stem end. Gently peel the skin from the tiny onions, and place on a cutting board with the cut side down.



To slice into a “Bloom”, use your finger as a guide by placing it at the root of the onion, then slice straight down from your thumb to the bottom. Repeat those cuts all the way around the onion. Carefully separate, and open up the petals and place in some cold water, while you slice up the rest.


Prepare your wet batter in a bowl by combining the:
Eggs
Milk
Prepare your dry batter in a bowl by combining the:
Flour
All the seasonings

Dip the cut onions into the dry batter, then into the wet batter and back into the dry again..making sure that every part, inside and out of the onion is coated.

Heat the Canola oil in a medium pot and start frying them up! Drain them on paper towels and salt when warm!

Serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, I used Ranch with some Chili Powder. ~Enjoy!! :)
