4. Peel 2 brown onions and place, base-side down, on a board. Make 16 cuts down each onion to create petals, keeping the base intact. Turn onions over and carefully fan out. Holding onion from base, dip in flour mixture, coating petals thoroughly. Shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, and again in flour mixture, so each petal is thoroughly coated.
