Thread: Best Blooming Onion Recipe?

I have a device that makes perfect blooming onions. But I can't seem to find a batter recipe that makes as good of an onion as you get at Outback or Lonestar Steakhouses.Does anybody know of any good recipes to try?

Good luck my wife wants to know the same thing. I don't eat em so I don't worry about it :D:D

Fatman

let me know how it tastes

Copycat Restaurant Recipes: Outback Steakhouse's Blooming Onion and Fondue Recipes Book

We use a mix that I get at Wal-mart its a Autry House Med Hot breader.. Take an egg and butter milk. Wash the onion in the wash. Then cover with the Med Hot breader. Then egg wash again and then breader again.
Ours turns out great, And its as good as the ones at Outback.. Also we have stopped cooking the blooming onions, I cut them them in the blooming onion cutter. Then cut the bottom off of it. And eat the blooms. Not as hard as the blooming onions to get done. As you always have some of the onion that is not done.
But with just using the peddles. There all done and sure some fine eating. Sure hate I am not able to eat them anyone.

Also you can do boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite size in the same above and deep fry. Man its good.

Dipping sauce..
1/4 cup mayo
1 tablespoon horseradish
Teaspoon catchup
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
red pepper to taste we use a little over 1/4 tea spoon
Black pepper couple dashes.
makes enough for 2 easy and will keep in fridge for up to 2 weeks.

We fix this for shrimp and even fish... And everyone loves it.
