Peel the onion. Using a pot lid for stability, make vertical cuts down the onion, ensuring the bottom remains intact so the 'petals' stay connected. 2. Place the onion in a bowl, cover with cold water, and let rest for 1 hour to release bitterness. 3. In one bowl, mix flour, pepper, and paprika. In a second bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and salt. 4. Drain the onion and gently squeeze out excess water. 5. Double coat the onion: first in the dry flour mixture (ensuring spices get into all petals), then in the wet egg mixture, and finally back into the dry mixture. 6. Heat vegetable oil in a small, narrow pot until boiling (test with a piece of bread). 7. Gently place the coated onion into the hot oil. Spoon hot oil over the top of the onion, rotating it until beautifully golden brown on all sides. 8. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
