Onto a sheet of wax paper sift together the flour, the baking powder, and the slat and sift the mixture again into a bowl, add the remaining 5 tablespoons of lard and blend the mixture until it resembles fine meal, stir in the milk, stirring until the dough is combined well, turn the dough onto a floured surface, and knead it for 30 seconds. Pat the dough into a 9- inch square pan, press evenly into a greased 9-inch square pan, and top it with the reserved onion mixture. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, the sour cream, and salt and pepper to taste, pour the mixture over the onion mixture, smoothing it with a spatula to cover the onion mixture evenly, and bake the bread in the middle of a preheated 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until it is cooked through.
