Ingredients

• 2 cups Chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Butter (cold, unsalted)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion (finely diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 0.75 cups Buttermilk (or milk with a squeeze of lemon)
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredient mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the caramelized onion mixture and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the buttermilk, mixing gently with a fork 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 rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits, re-rolling and re-patting the scraps as necessary.

Step 8

Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
