1. 1Jam:Melt butter in pan.
2. 2Add onions, salt, pepper and thyme sprig. Cook on low to medium heat until onions are soft and translucent, not browned.
3. 3Add sugar and vinegar and continue cooking on low heat until most of the liquid is absorbed by the onions and mixture is the consistency of jam.
4. 4Mix together flour and salt.
5. 5Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
6. 6Add egg and water mixture a little at a time until dough holds together. Do not knead. Leave dough to rest for at least 30 mins.
7. 7Roll dough out on a floured surface to about 2 mm thick.
8. 8Cut out pastry with a round cookie cutter (I used a 4 1/2 cm diameter round cookie cutter) and press into a tartlet tray with holes measuring about 4 cm in diameter. You can of course make it into whatever size you like. Prick base of pastry with a fork.
