This is a delicious savory bread with a hint of sweetness from the onions.

• 1 cup sweet onions, chopped
  
• 1/2 cup melted butter, divided
  
• 3 cups sifted all-purpose flour
  
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
  
• 1/2 cup sugar
  
• 1 teaspoon salt
  
• 1 cup sliced almonds
  
• 2 eggs
  
• 1 1/2 cups milk
  
• 1 teaspoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Saute onions in 1/4 cup butter until translucent.

Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together in a mixing bowl. Stir in the onions and nuts. Beat the eggs, milk, almond extract and remaining 1/4 cup butter. Add to the flour mixture and stir until well mixed. Batter may be slightly lumpy.

Spoon into a greased 8-by-5-inch (ours was 9-by-5) loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. (The bread doesn't rise much.) Remove from pan and cool before serving.
