Method
Prepare the Burger Patty
- 1
Mix the Patty Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over-mix to keep the patties tender.
- 2
Form the Patties
Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into patties, making a slight indentation in the center of each to prevent puffing during cooking.
Prepare the Blooming Onion
- 3
Cut the Onion
Peel the onion and place it root-side up. Cut downwards in a star shape, making 8-12 evenly spaced cuts but not cutting all the way through, leaving the root intact.
- 4
Prepare the Dredging Mixture
In a bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, pour buttermilk.
- 5
Coat the Onion
Dip the onion in buttermilk, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it gets into the crevices. Repeat the process to ensure a thick coating.
