Ok lets me correct a few things because I actually made these when I worked at Outback. First cut the onion the night before. Place in a container of water face down so that the petals are suspended and hanging. Needs to be deep enough for it to float. Then the next day take it out and gently squeeze the water out so that it is not dripping water as this will react to the oil. DONT FREEZE IT OTHER VIDEOS. Give it a few small shakes before dusting it. As you dust try and get it as far down between the petals as possible before the milk bath. Then dip in milk bath and back to dusting. The dust is going to keep the milk intact. When you put it in the oil start face down and give it a little spin as it goes in and this will fan out the petals. Make sure your pot is deep enough to not splatter out. Frying should be 7 minutes in total at 375-390 degrees. At halfway point gently turn it over. When you turn it you should see a nice bloom. When you pull it out let it drain out oil. Place on plate and then core the center. Just a tip.

This is the only Allrecipes narrator I like. She makes every recipe sound amazing. The others are okay but she's the best.

ONE OF THE BEST BLOOMING ONION RECIPES.

Better idea for the flour mixture is hold a wire strainer over the onion and pour the flour through it, shaking the strainer and evenly showering the flour all over the onion

[Samrules]

You cook smooth and slow for clean whole food and turn fast when cooking junk fast food. I love that idea

LoL...she uses the slotted spoon (twice) to try to pick up and pour the milk mixture on the onion...

Some tips before making: First
don't even bother if you"re not going to do the whole Blanche/ ice water bath.
Second cut the core out after it is cooked.
There use a strainer to sprinkle flour on top of onion.
