Ingredients
Onions
2 cup(s)
Milk
1/4 cup(s)
Lemon juice
2 tbsp.
Hot sauce
3 cup(s)
Flour
3 tsp.
Cayenne
2 tsp.
Mustard powder
1 tbsp.
Salt
1 tbsp.
Pepper
1
Large onion
Directions
- 1. Combine milk, lemon juice, and hot sauce, Set aside.
- 2. In a separate bowl combine flour and all seasonings, set aside.
- 3. Julienne the onion and place in the milk mixture, allow to soak for 1-2 minutes, meanwhile fill a medium sized pot 3 inches with oil and heat up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, be careful to control the heat when approaching the 300 degree point as to not overheat and disrupt the oil.
- 4. Remove onions from milk, with a strainer and place into the flour mixture, ensure all onions get dredged entirely, and once at temp drop in the oil for 90-120 seconds, until golden brown and crispy. Allow more time to cook if using a smaller pot, do not overfill the pot as the oil temperature will fall and cook unevenly. You can avoid this issue by cooking small amounts of the onions at a time to maintain 300 degree oil temperatures.
- 5. Once all the onions are cooked and crispy, check for seasoning, add salt and pepper if necessary and set aside at room temperature. Store on a plate lined with a paper towel to catch excess grease.
- 1. In a nonstick pan, heat up desired fat, I recommend oil or butter, once pan and fat are hot, sear the cakes, be cautious not to overcrowd the pan, allow 2 to 3 minutes on each side to give the cakes a nice crispy sear, remove your cakes.
