Our chrysanthemum of onion, battered, fried, and served with a sherry wine dipping sauce. The original flowering onion in Augusta.

Carefully peel the onion and cut the bottom off so it can stand upright. Make cuts in the onion from the top down to create petal-like sections, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Prepare the Onion

In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and add cold water. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

Make the Batter

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).

Heat the Oil

Dip the onion into the batter, ensuring all petals are coated evenly.

Batter the Onion

Carefully place the battered onion into the hot oil and fry for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Onion

In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sherry wine, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
