Awesome Blossom
- Mix all dry ingredients together.
- Cut the top 1/4 off the onion (the top has the stem). Then peel the onion but make sure the root stays intact.
- Carefully slice the onion from the top stopping about ½ inch above the root (take care not to cut through the root). Slice the rest of the onion like a pie.
- Soak the onion in ice-cold water for about 30 minutes until the onion's petals open up and bloom.
- Heat oil to 350 degrees.
- Drain the onion and dip in flour mixture and dust the onion to cover the onion thoroughly.
- Dip onion in buttermilk and back in flour mixture.
- Place the onion in the hot oil and fry until golden. Oil should cover onion.
- When done, drain well and place the fried onion on a plate.
- Cut the center out of the onion.
