I learned a version of this recipe in Home Economics Class, many years ago...I created this one, I added the addition of bacon, as bacon is good anytime. I used vadalia onions, but can use any sweet onion...so good!

How To Make ~ onion lovin brunch cake ~

    Sift flour, salt, onion powder and baking powder together. Cut into flour, 3 tablespoons, butter, until crumbly. Into this add 1/2 cup milk, beat with a fork, just until incorporated, about 18 strokes. Spray an 11 x 7 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out batter evenly in bottom of dish. I lightly spray the top of batter and use an offset knife for this, whatever's easiest for you.

    Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Spread onions evenly over batter and then sprinkle with cheese.

    Mix egg and mustard with milk, beating well. Pour over onions and cheese. Top with bacon.
