"I read that Paula's batter recipe was supposed to be top notch, but something is missing. Either steps have been ommited or this recipe was half-heartedly posted. It was the biggest blooming onion failure I've ever experienced. The batter didn't stick, so most petals were simply onion sticks, and the batter taste was pretty bland compared to most other dusting methods. Very disappointed. I hope she revisits this one and corrects whatever the problem is. I refuse to believe that this recipe is just this bad.
