29. Boiled Onions

Peel the onions (if the knife and hands are kept under cold water the odor left on the hands will not be so strong) and boil 45 minutes. Serve with drawn butter sauce.

30. Baked Onions

Peel the onions and cook in boiling salted water twenty minutes, drain, put in a baking dish, cover with fresh boiling water and bake one hour. Take up and pour over them a sauce made of the water they were baked in, which should be about one cup; if there is not enough to fill a cup, add milk, let boil and add the yolk of one egg beaten and the hot milk poured on it, then return to the fire until it thickens.

31. Fried Onions

Peel, mash and cut crosswise; flour, and fry five or six minutes; drain, sprinkle with salt; serve with beefsteak. Use very little fat in frying; indeed, they may be done without any if they are covered and care is taken that they do not burn.
