Servings: 8 biscuits
Cost: -
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup buttermilk regular or dairy free, see notes for homemade
- 1 stick cold butter regular or vegan
- 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing
- 1 yellow or sweet onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 cup white wine
- everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium low heat. Add sliced onions and cook for approximately 5 minutes, until onions start to get soft and fragrant.
- Begin to add white wine, 1/4 cup at a time. Stir onions occasionally. Wait until first 1/4 cup of wine has dissolved before adding the next.
- Cook onions until very soft and deeply golden in color, approximately 35-40 minutes. Place caramelized onions in a bowl and cool completely in the refrigerator. When ready to use, roughly chop caramelized onions.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut cold butter into cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to 'cut' the butter into the flour until pea sized pieces of butter remain.
- Next, add cold buttermilk and caramelized onions. Mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out dough onto floured surface. Work quickly, and if needed, fold excess flour into dough with a few kneads. Using your hands, form dough into a one inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or the top of a drinking glass to cut out 4 biscuits.
- Take excess dough and shape into another one inch thick rectangle. Cut biscuits and repeat until all dough is used. Place biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet. If needed, chill biscuits in the fridge before proceeding.
- Preheat oven to 425°F degrees. Brush the tops of each biscuit with melted butter. Sprinkle tops of biscuits with everything bagel seasoning.
- Bake biscuits for 20-25 minutes, until fluffy and golden. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- To measure flour, use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup. Level the top of the flour with the straight edge of a butter knife. Avoid scooping the flour from the container with the measuring cup.
- Place stick of butter in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before using.
- Keep buttermilk in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- To make homemade buttermilk, add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to 3/4 cup regular or plant based milk. Stir and let sit in the fridge for at least 5 minutes, or until ready to use.
- If you are using a biscuit cutter that is 3 inches in diameter, you should get 8 biscuits.
