Ingredients

• 0.5 cups mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon pickle relish
• 1.5 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Prepare the Dipping Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, Worcestershire, garlic powder, and cayenne in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

3. 3

   Prepare the Onion Patties: Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch in a large cast-iron skillet; heat over medium-high. While oil heats, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne in a bowl.

4. 4

   Add onion and buttermilk and stir until combined.

5. 5

   A drop of batter should sizzle as it hits the oil, indicating it's ready. Working in batches, spoon a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the hot oil, and using a spoon, spread slightly into circles. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Remove from pan to a wire rack set over paper towels and immediately sprinkle with salt to taste.

6. 6

   Serve hot with Dipping Sauce.
