Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small onions
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
- 1 cup mayonnaise

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat oil in your deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the tops and bottoms off the onions, peel them, and make cuts down the sides to create petals without cutting through the root.
- Soak the prepared onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Remove onions from the buttermilk, letting any excess drain off, and coat them fully in the flour mixture.
- Carefully fry the onions in the hot oil for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce to create the ranch dip.
- Serve the mini bloomin’ onions hot with the ranch dip on the side.
