onkalots

Onkalots, also known as onion cakes, are a traditional dish originating from the Netherlands, particularly popular in the province of Friesland. They are a type of savory pastry made from a dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes eggs, which is then filled with a mixture of finely chopped onions, butter, and sometimes other ingredients such as cheese or herbs. The dough is rolled out, the filling is spread onto it, and the edges are folded over to create a rectangular or square shape. Onkalots are typically baked until golden brown and crispy.

The dish is often served as a side dish or a snack, and it is a popular choice for breakfast or brunch. Onkalots are known for their crispy exterior and soft, savory interior, with the onions providing a mild, slightly sweet flavor. They are a staple in Dutch cuisine and are enjoyed both locally and internationally. The preparation of onkalots can vary, with some recipes including additional ingredients or variations in the dough, but the basic concept remains the same.
