Onion And Bacon Pie By Penzey's
Cooking instructions
* Step 2
To prepare the crust, cut the butter into small pieces. It doesn't have to be cold, but you don't want it too warm so it's melting.

Add the flour, salt and sugar to the butter and rub by hand to combine.
* Step 4
Switch to a spoon and add the milk in a thin stream, mixing until it just holds together.

You may not need all the milk.
* Step 6
Firm into a disc, cover in plastic wrap and chill while making the filling.
* Step 7
Sprinkle surface and top of dough with flour, roll gently from the center to the edges until it's large enough, turning it over a few times so it doesn't stick.
* Step 8
Lift gently into the pan, and crimp edges as desired.
* Step 9
Prick the crust all over with a fork and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
* Step 10
For the filling, fry the bacon over medium heat until done.
* Step 11
Remove the bacon from the pan, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the drippings.
* Step 12
Cook the onions in the bacon drippings until nicely browned, stirring often.
