Onion Tart – Allinson Vegetarian Cookery Book
1 lb. of Spanish onions, 1 lb. of English onions, 4 oz. of butter, 3
eggs, 1/2 pint of cream, pepper and salt to taste, 1/2 lb. of Allinson
fine wheatmeal. Slice the onions, and stew them with 1-1/2 oz. of
butter without browning them. When tender let the onions cool, mix
with them the eggs, well beaten, and the cream, also the seasoning.
Make a paste with the meal and the rest of the butter, line with it a
baking-tin, keeping back a small quantity of the paste; pour the
mixture of onions, eggs, and cream into the paste-lined tin, cut the
rest of the paste into thin strips, and lay these crossways over the
tart, forming diamond-shaped squares; bake the tart in a moderate oven
until golden brown.
