In a large bowl, combine flour, cayenne pepper, and House Seasoning. Remove onion from buttermilk mixture and shake off any excess. Place onion in flour mixture, place a plate over top of bowl, and shake onion in flour to distribute flour inside and around outside of onion.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs with water. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dip flour-coated onion in egg mixture to coat, roll in and sprinkle with breadcrumbs to coat, and spray with oil. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
