Steps:
- In a heavy skillet cook the onion in 2 tablespoons of the lard over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is golden, stir in the cayenne and salt and pepper to taste, and reserve the mixture. Onto a sheet of wax paper sift together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt and sift the mixture again into a bowl. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons lard and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. Stir in the milk, stirring until the dough is combined well, turn the dough onto a floured surface, and knead it for 30 seconds. Pat the dough into a 9-inch square, press it evenly into a greased 9-inch-square pan, and top it with the reserved onion mixture. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, the sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the mixture over the onion mixture, smoothing it with a spatula to cover the onion mixture evenly, and bake the bread in the middle of a preheated 450°F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it is cooked through. Cut the bread into squares and serve it hot.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline slicer to evenly slice the onions. This will help them cook evenly.
- If you don't have a mandoline slicer, you can carefully slice the onions by hand. Just be sure to slice them as thinly as possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the onions over medium heat until they are caramelized. This will take about 30 minutes.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of onions. Sweet onions, yellow onions, and red onions will all work well in this recipe.
- Serve the onion brunch squares warm or at room temperature. They are also delicious the next day.
Conclusion:
Onion brunch squares are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give onion brunch squares a try!
