Instructions
 

  • Take the skin off the onion and cut 3/4 to 1 inch off the top and bottom.
  • Take out the core in the middle of the onion, which is about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice down the middle of the onion about 3/4 of the way. Turn the onion 90 degrees and slice again.
  • Continue slicing each part in half until you have 16 sections.
  • Be mindful not to cut through the onion's bottom.
  • In a mixing bowl, add White Lily Self Rising Flour, Paprika, Creole Seasoning, Garlic Powder, and Salt.
  • Mix everything very thoroughly with a spoon, then set it aside.
  • Take a bowl and place the onion in it.
  • Pour buttermilk over the onion.
  • Now, place the onion in the flour mixture and coat it thoroughly.
  • Check that the onion is completely coated, particularly between the "petals."
  • Pour at least 3 inches of oil into a large, deep pan, leaving 2 inches of headspace.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 400 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
  • Remove any excess flour from the onion.
  • Cut side down, and delicately lower the onion into the oil using a wire skimmer.
  • Adjust the heat so that the temperature of the oil remains near 350 degrees.
  • Fry for about 3 minutes, then flip the onion and continue to fry for another 3 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
  • Drain on a paper towel and enjoy Brenda Gantt's Blooming Onion!
