2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:
Prepare and peel onion skin. Slice between each section until you have at least 12-15 evenly spaced cuts. Once all cuts are made, turn the onions over and gently separate the layers.
Prepare the flour mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, cumin, black pepper, and kosher salt. Mix well.
Prepare the egg wash: in another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk.
Dip each onion in the flour mixture, between the petals.
Then, dip the onion into the egg wash. Return the onion to the flour mixture for a second coating.
Ready to fry. Fry for about 10 minutes or golden brown. Enjoy!
