Ingredients
- 1 large Onion
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Oregano
- 1/2 tsp Thyme
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 4 cups Oil for frying
Instructions
- Trim about 1/2 inch from the top of the onion and peel the outer skin.
- Flip the onion, root-end up, and make slices starting about 1/2 inch from the root down to the cutting board to create petals.
- Mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and water until well combined.
- Dredge the onion in the flour mixture, ensuring all parts are well coated. Dip the onion into the wet mixture, then back into the flour mixture for a second coating.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F. Carefully lower the onion into the oil, cut-side down, and fry for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
