1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared cardamom
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup shredded blue cheese
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, mince a small onion on the bottom of a large pot. Transfer fatty parts of onion to a separate medium bowl.
Stir enough oil to coat the bottom of each pot to thicken the onion. Place half of onion in mixture with crust. Pour juice into the other half of pot.
Bake patties in preheated oven for 40 minutes, basting with lemon-lime soda as necessary.
