Directions

1. 1

   Dough: In a large bowl mix 1/2 cup of oil, warm water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 egg and baking powder. Gradually add flour until dough will form a ball. This may not take all 5 cups!

2. 2

   In a large pan, fry the onions in approximately 1/2 cup of oil. Add salt, sugar and other spices. Mix in stock. Continue to cook until onions are wilted and a rich caramel colour.

3. 3

   Remove from heat. Quickly mix in eggs to prevent them from clumping as they come into contact with the hot mixture.

4. 4

   Let cool.

5. 5

   Grease a pie dish. Roll out 3/4 of the dough and place in the pie dish. Fill with onion mixture. Use remianing dough to make lattice-style top.
