Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, finely diced
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
• 1 cup Shredded Gruyère cheese
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 1 Egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the finely diced onion.

Step 3

Cook the onion, stirring often, until caramelized and golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese and the cooled caramelized onions.

Step 7

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Gently mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat or roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness.

Step 9

Using a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the scraps to cut additional biscuits.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Optionally, sprinkle the biscuits with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy these delicious French Onion Biscuits alongside your favorite meal or on their own!
