- In a saucepan add the chopped onion with the tablespoon extra margarine and the sugar, cook on low heat until browned, then put aside.
- Sift flour, baking powder and cayenne pepper, then rub in the butter with your fingertips till it resembles breadcrumbs.
- Stir in yeast flakes, corn, hearbs, olives, salt and pepper and the cooked onion. Add the milk, cutting into the dry mixture with a knife until just combined (don't overmix).

- Bake for 20-30 minute, or until puffed and golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cook on tray.
