INGREDIENTS

4-6 sweet onions

- Beer Batter:

1¾ cup flour

1½ tsp baking soda

1½ tsp salt

3 Tbsp yellow cornmeal

1½ cup light beer- 12 oz.

1 large egg

To prepare teh beer batter, combine the dry ingredients. Add the beer and egg. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, trim the ends of the onion, being careful that the bottom stays intact. To form the blossom, cut the onion into 8-10 wedges. Slices should not extend all the way to the bottom so that the onion remains in one piece. Repeat with remaining onions.

Heat oil in a pot or a deep fryer over medium- high heat. Dip the onions into the batter, making sure to separate the wedges so that the batter covers all pieces. Fry the blossoms in the hot oil for 8 minutes, turning over if necessary.

Serve with honey mustard sauce.

I made this as a starter and i served it with a garlic mayo. It was very good but I felt that the batter didn't get through to all the leafs of the onion therefore only the outer layer really had the crunch. It happened to have been a very pretty starter on the plate.
