How to make it

  • Select a well-rounded onion. Peel outer skin off. Leave root intact and cut off any hanging roots. Using a small, sharp knife, divide onion into four sections by making 2 cuts crosswise, beginning at the top and cutting toward root, stopping about 1/2" away. Cut each section twice.
  • Place onion in bowl of enough boiling water to cover it and leave for 5 minutes. The sections, or petals, will begin to open. Remove onion from water and immerse into ice water, which will further the opening.
  • Drain well by turning upside down on paper towel.
  • Put flour and spices into paper bag, add onion and shake gently to coat with flour. Roll floured onion in beaten egg to cover.
  • Put cracker crumbs or coating in bag, add onion, and shake gently to coat.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour before deep frying in oil to golden brown, 3 to 5
  • minutes.
  • Cooked onion can be kept for a time in warm oven. Serve with Ranch Dressing for a sauce. I would just let my imagination go, on the sauce!
