00:00awesome blossom onion bites trying to deep fry an onion blossom at home is not a great idea nor is
00:06eating at the strip mall too often to get started we'll mix together our awesome blossom sauce which
00:11starts with some sour cream to which we will add a little bit of mayo and then we are definitely
00:15going to want to include a nice big spoon of horseradish and then we'll finish up with a
00:18little bit of ketchup and then we'll take a spoon and give this a thorough mixing but i really wanted
00:22it to taste extra awesome so i decided to add a few shakes of cayenne and then i gave it
00:26another
00:26mix and another taste and then we'll move on to the only actual prep we have to do which is
00:30dicing
00:31one onion we'll do is transfer two cups of these diced onions into a mixing bowl sprinkle over a
00:35teaspoon and a half of kosher salt mix this salt in and then let it sit for about 15 minutes
00:39so what
00:39we'll do is transfer those onions into a strainer and we will rinse those very very thoroughly under
00:43cold running water what we'll do is let that drain for a couple minutes beginning with a nice big
00:47pinch of salt as well as some freshly ground black pepper followed by garlic powder and then we'll
00:52finish up the dry ingredients with a little bit of cornmeal followed by some all-purpose flour
00:56baking powder i'm going to stir all that together first and then add the milk at this point and
01:00then we'll continue stirring until we formed a very thick batter it should look like this while we heat
01:04up some oil in a skillet and once our oil is hot we can start transferring in rounded tablespoon
01:08portions of the batter for about three minutes we'll go ahead and flip those over give the other side
01:12about three minutes or so or until these are beautifully brown and nice and crispy around the
01:16edges once our awesome blossom bites have fried for about six minutes total we will remove those from the
01:20oil and we'll go ahead and serve those up to our awesome blossom sauce which i'm going to garnish with
01:24another shake of cayenne we want these to be extra awesome which i'm happy to report they were
