The sinfulness of man does not begin from without, but from within. It is not the result of bad training in early years. It is not picked up from bad companions and bad examples, as some weak Christians are too fond of saying. No! it is a family disease, which we all inherit from our first parents, Adam and Eve, and with which we are born. Created “in the image of God,” innocent and righteous at first, our parents fell from original righteousness and became sinful and corrupt. And from that day to this all men and women are born in the image of fallen Adam and Eve, and inherit a heart and nature inclined to evil. “By one man sin entered into the world.”

INSTRUCTIONS

In a heavy skillet, cook the onion in 2 Tbsp lard, over mod-low heat,
stirring, until it is golden.  Stir in the cayenne and salt and pepper to
taste.  Reserve the mixture.
Onto a sheet of wax paper, sift together the flour, baking powder, and
salt.  Sift the mixture again into a bowl. Add the remaining lard, and
blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal. Stir in the milk, stirring
until the dough is combined well.  Turn out onto a floured surface and
knead it for 30 seconds. Pat into a 9-inch square, press it evenly into a
greased 9-inch baking pan and top with the onion mixture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and salt and pepper to
taste.  Pour this over the onion mixture, using a spatula to cover the
onion mixture evenly.
Bake in the middle of a preheated 450f oven for 20-25 minutes or until it
is cooked through.  Cut into squares and serve hot.
