How to Make a Blooming Onion at Home! Copycat Recipe #shorts
469You trying this?!
One of the appetizer staples made at home and much better! Don’t forget the sauce, it’s so dang good!
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus more for sprinkling
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tbsp @hardcorecarnivore all purpose red seasoning
1.5 cups milk
2 large eggs @happyeggcousa
1 large yellow onion
Peanut Oil for frying
Dipping sauce
3/4 cup mayo
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp creamy horseradish
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp roasted garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp black pepper
I recommend starting with the sauce, and all you have to do is combine all the ingredients and pop it in the fridge to develop its flavor!
To make the blooming onion, start by heating up your peanut oil to 375°F
Next week can combine the dry ingredients above in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until everything is spread throughout and set aside!
Grab another large bowl and add the milk and eggs, whisk until smooth and set aside!
Now let’s cut the onion! You want to cut the top off and leave the root end on. You can trim it, but be careful not to cut too much off.
Carefully peel the outermost layer of the onion off, and place the onion cut side down, with the root facing up. We’re going to make about 16 sections, so I recommend making the first 4 cuts, then making a cut in between those, and another round of cuts between those!
Next dust the open onion with corn starch, and then transfer to the dry mix to get coated before you place it in the wet mixture, making sure the individual layers are all coated!
Transfer back to the dry batter mix and get all layers and sides coated well! It takes some time but it’s important!
Carefully take the onion to your fryer and place it in! If the fryer isn’t deep enough you’ll need to carefully turn the onion, or you can baste with the oil which is what I did!
After about 6-7 minutes, we’re all set to serve up with our sauce!
