Caramelized Onion Sourdough Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon 14g unsalted butter, cold
- 1 small to medium 113g onion, peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon 25g light brown sugar or dark brown sugar
- 1 cup 120g all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon table salt
- 8 tablespoons 113g unsalted butter, cold
- 2 to 3 tablespoons 11g chives, chopped
- 1 cup 227g sourdough starter, unfed/discard
Instructions
- Combine the butter, onion, and sugar in a pan set over medium-low heat. Cook the onions, covered, for about 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes; they should be nicely caramelized. Transfer the onions to a bowl, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work the butter into the flour until the mixture is unevenly crumbly.
- Toss in the chives and caramelized onions.
- Add the starter, mixing until the dough is cohesive. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a bench knife or bowl scraper to fold it over on itself five or six times, until it comes together.
- Pat the dough into a 1"-thick disk.
- Use a sharp 2 1/2" biscuit cutter to cut rounds. Pat the scraps together, and cut additional biscuits.
- Bake the biscuits for 15 to 18 minutes, until they're just turning golden.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven, and serve warm with a little bit of butter.
