Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Yellow onion, finely diced
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for caramelizing onions)
• 2 tablespoons Optional: fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and optional fresh parsley or chives, if using.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk. Stir gently with a fork just until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick round. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
