     12 oz Beer
      2 ts Garlic powder

      4 lg Sweet onions
           Bloomin' Onion Sauce or
           - Creamy Chili Sauce; to
           - serve
 
  To make the batter, combine the cornstarch, minced
  garlic, and salt with 1 1/2 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons
  of paprika, and 2 teaspoons of ground black pepper. Mix
  well. Add the beer and mix to combine.
  
  To make the seasoned flour, combine the garlic powder
  and cayenne pepper with 2 cups of flour, 4 teaspoons of
  paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper. Mix
  well.
  
  Cut about 3/4" off the top of the onions and peel them.
  Cut each onion into 12 to 16 vertical wedges, but do not
  cut through the bottom root end. Remove about 1 inch of
  petals from the center of the onion. You may want to
  separate the onion petals slightly, but do not do this
  too much or you will destroy the onion.
  
  Dip the onions into the seasoned flour and shake off the
  excess. Dip the onions into the batter, separating the
  petals to ensure they are thoroughly coated. Then dip
  the onions into the seasoned flour again.
  
  Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375oF to 400oF. Gently
  place the onions into the fryer basket and deep-fry for
  1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove the onions from the
  fryer and drain on paper towels.
  
  To serve, place the onion upright in a shallow bowl and
  remove the center core with a circular cutter or apple
  corer. Serve hot with Bloomin' Onion Sauce or Creamy
  Chili Sauce.
