2 tsp.. paprika
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper
1 cup of beer of your choice (a bit more for desired consistancy.
4 Sweet Onions

Creamy Chili Sauce:
1 pint mayonnaise
1 pint sour cream
1/2 cup chili sauce
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper.
Combine and mix well.

Mix cornstarch, flour and seasonings until well blended. Add beer and mix well. Cut off about 3/4" of the top of the onion and peel. Cut into onion about 12 to16 wedges but do not cut through bottom root end.
Remove about 1" of petals from center of the onion.
Seperate onion petals slightly, do not do this too much, you will destroy the onion!
Dip onion in seasoned flour and remove excess by shaking. Seperate petals to coat thoroughly with batter. Dip in batter then dip in flour mixture again.
Gently place onion in fryer basket and deep fry at 375 to 400 degrees for about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn over and fry an additional 1 1/2 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.

Place onion upright in shallow bowl and serve hot with Creamy Chili Sauce.
