Tartlets for onion lovers

These tartlets contain three types of onions: red ones, normal ones and leeks. This time I followed the thin layer of crust with lots of filling in the inside principle again. The crust is the same as the one of the apple pie posted below, in a salty version of course. The best thing about these tartlets is that they are filled with tons of onions, and that is, for a true onion lover, is heaven itself. And I'm proud to be one of them. 




Ingredients for roughly 10 tartlets

The crust:
  • 10 dkg of full wheat flour
  • 10 dkg of flour
  • 2 teaspoons of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder 
  • 5-10 dkg of butter
  • oregano according to taste
  • cold water
The filling:
  • 3 red onions
  • 2 onions
  • half a leek
  • salt, pepper
  • 4 tablespoons of sour cream
  • 2 eggs
  • grated smoked cheese 



Measure the flour for the crust, add the baking soda and the oregano, add the bits of butter and make a crumble with the butter and the flour. When its done, add the water and kneed the dough. Let it rest in the fridge until you make the filling. 
Peel the onions, cut them in half, slice them and cook them on a mixture of oil and butter for 20 minutes with the lid on.Add salt and freshly ground pepper. When it's done let it cool for a bit. Add the sour cream and the 2 beaten eggs and mix it carefully. 
Roll the crust very thin, and with the help of some round object cut perfect circles out of it. Stick the edges together so that it has the shape of a little basket. Of course my tartlets lost their shape while they were in the oven, so you might want to use tartlet dishes. Fill the baskets with the sour cream and onion mixture, sprinkle them with the smoked cheese and put them into the oven at 200 deg Celsius for 15-20 minutes until golden. They are absolutely fantastic hot and cold as well.
