Ingredients:  
2 large sweet onions, unpeeled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasonings, divided
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
oil for deep frying
Directions:
Directions:
Leaving the root end intact, peel off the outer skin of the onion. Cut a small slice off the top. Starting at the top of the onion and on one side, make a cut downward toward the end root, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Make additional cuts 1/8 inch from the first until there are cuts completely across the top of the onion. Turn the onion a quarter turn so that the slices are horizontal to you. Repeat the cuts 1/8 inch apart from each other until there is a checkerboard pattern across the entire top of the onion. In a small bowl, make the dip by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning; mix well and set aside. In a 1-gallon plastic bag, combine flour and remaining Cajun seasoning; put onion in a bag and shake well to coat onion evenly and well. Pour 1 cup milk into a small deep bowl. Dip coated onion in milk and place back in bag and coat again. In a deep fryer, cook onion in hot oil for about 5 minutes until golden, turning once. Remove onion from hot oil, drain and place on a serving plate. Discard the very center of the fried onion blossom. Place a few spoonfuls of the dip into the center of the onion and serve immediately.
