Put onion and butter into a saucepan and cook over a gentle heat until soft. Add milk and heat until bubbling. Gradually stir in cheese and continue to cook until melted, stirring frequently.

In a small bowl, blend cornflour smoothly with whisky then stir into cheese mixture and cook 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring frequently. Pour into the fondue pot and serve with cubes of rye and onion bread.
