Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 large yellow onions, sliced
- 1 1⁄2 cups plus 1 tbsp. flour
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1⁄3 cup madeira wine
- 1⁄2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tsp. dry mustard
- 1 1⁄4 cups milk
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 8 tbsp. rendered bacon fat
- 6 slices prosciutto

Instructions
Step 1
Make onion gravy: Heat butter in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium-low heat; add onions, and cook until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Stir in 1 tbsp. flour; add stock, madeira, and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil; cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set gravy aside.
Step 2
Heat oven to 425°. Whisk remaining flour, mustard, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk in milk and eggs; let rest for 15 minutes. Pour 6 tbsp. bacon fat into a 9″ × 11″ baking dish; heat in oven for 10 minutes. Heat remaining bacon fat in a 12″ skillet over medium heat.
