Directions ========================
 With a    sharp knife, trim the root end of each onion on its root end, cut
parallel    vertical slices at 1/4 inch intervals into but not through the
onion,    stopping about 1/2 inch above the root end. Rotate each onion 90
degrees    and cut parallel vertical slices in the same manner to from a crosshatch
   pattern, keeping the onions intact. Arrange the onions, root ends down,
in    a lightly buttered shallow baking dish large enough to let the onion
open    or "flower," drizzle them with the butter, and season them with salt
and    pepper. Bake the onions in the middle of a preheated 350 degree F oven,
   basting them occasionally, for 1 hour, sprinkle them with the pecans, and
   bake them for 30 minutes more.        =========================
