Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese (grated)
  • 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add sliced onions. Cook for about 20 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add Butter and Cheese: Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Stir in grated Gruyere.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients and Dough: Mix in milk and cooled caramelized onions until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Shape and Bake: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). On a floured surface, pat dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick; cut out biscuits using a round cutter.
  6. Bake: Place biscuits on a lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
