| Caramelized Onion Biscuits |
Recipe Type: Sides
Cook time: 12 mins
Total time: 12 mins
Serves: 10
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons cold butter, divided
- 2 medium onions, chopped (sweet onions or yellow onions)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, about 10 1/2 ounces
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk, low fat is fine
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, cook the onions in 3 tablespoons of butter, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown. Watch carefully and turn the heat down if the onions brown too quickly. Set aside and let cool.
- Heat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir to blend well. Cut the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter into smaller pieces and work into the dry ingredients using fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles crumbs.
- Add the milk and onions with their melted butter. Stir until all ingredients are moistened. On a floured surface, pat the soft dough out into a circle about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out with biscuit cutters and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for about 10 to 14 minutes, until nicely browned. If desired, brush tops with melted butter while they’re hot.
- Makes about 10 standard sized biscuits. Or, about 12 to 16 with smaller (1 1/2- to 2-inch) biscuit cutters.
