Method

Creamy Cajun Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, cajun seasoning, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Onion Rings

  1. 2

    Slice the Onion

    Peel the onion and slice it into 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the cold water, stirring until the batter is smooth and thick.

  3. 4

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F or 175°C). Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    Place a generous amount of creamy cajun sauce on a plate. Top with two onion rings and garnish with dill pickle slices. Serve immediately.
