BAKED ONIONS. The large Spanish or Bermuda onions are best for this purpose. Wash the outside clean, put into a sauce-pan with ‘slightly salted water, and boil an hour, replenishing the water with more (boiling hot) as it boils away. Then turn off water; take out onions and lay upon a cloth that all moisture may be absorbed; roll each in a piece of buttered tissue-paper, twisting it at the top to keep it closed, and bake in a slow oven nearly an hour, or until tender all through.
