Not a story, but a recipe.

Deep Fried Onion Balls with Cajun Ranch Sauce

added by Kathy Sills

I wanted to try something different instead of a plain onion ring! So I came up with Onion Balls! Onion broilers are like pearl onions, but a little bigger! Found in the produce section labeled onion broilers.

Cook time: 5 Min  Prep time: 25 Min  Serves: many

Ingredients

8 oz sour cream

1 sm packet Hidden Valley Ranch

5 Tbsp Cajun seasoning, divided

4 1/2 Tbsp cayenne pepper, divided

2 c self-rising flour

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 egg

1 c milk, add more if needed

2 bags onion boilers, peeled

1 bottle canola oil

Directions

1. Preheat deep fryer to 400 degrees.

2. In a medium bowl add the sour cream, ranch packet, 1 tablespoon of the Cajun seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon of the cayenne pepper. Mix well. Chill while onion boilers cook.

3. In a medium bowl add the flour, egg, and milk. Mix well.

4. Add 4 tablespoons of Cajun seasoning to the batter.

5. Add 4 tablespoons of the cayenne pepper to the batter.

6. Add the salt and black pepper to the batter. Mix well.

What a wonderfully different appetizer for your next dinner party! With 4 tablespoons of red pepper they do pack a healthy punch, but they were still definitely a unanimous hit with the entire Crew.
