Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with parchment.

Sauté sliced onions in oil for 15 minutes, then add vinegar and sugar for 5 minutes.

Sift flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt, then rub in cold butter.

Mix most of the onions, prosciutto, cheese, and basil into the flour.

Combine buttermilk with 25ml water and stir into flour to form a sticky dough.

Shape dough on a floured surface, transfer to the tray, and flatten to 4cm thickness.

Score the top and scatter with reserved onion, cheese, and prosciutto.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding.

Cool on a wire rack and brush with melted butter.
