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.
