2 c Coarsely chopped onions
2 tb Butter
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts Dried marjoram
1/4 ts Black pepper
2 c Flour
1/4 c Cornstarch
4 ts Baking powder
5 tb Vegetable shortening
3/4 c Milk (may need 1 cup)
1 Egg well beaten
3/4 c Sour cream
2 ts Poppy seeds
1/4 ts Paprika
In a medium skillet, saute the onions in butter over low heat until
they just begin to brown, about 15 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon
of the salt, the marjoram, and the pepper. Set aside to cool. Preheat
the oven to450 F. In a food processor bowl place flour, cornstarch,
baking powder, and the remaining salt; mix. Add the shortening and
process just until it is the texture of soft crumbs. Add the milk and
mix quickly to form a soft dough. Oil a 10-inch-round cake pan
andlightly use your fingers to spread the dough out evenly. Spread
the cooked onion over the top. Beat the egg and sour cream together.
Spoon the mixture over the onions and spread it out to the very edge
of the pan. Sprinkle lightly with the paprika and poppy seeds. Bake
for 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges to serve.
