- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Keeping the butter cold ensures flaky layers.
- Pour in the buttermilk and stir until just combined. The dough will be sticky.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the pesto evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar. Tip: Don’t skimp on the cheese—it’s the star of the show.
- Roll the dough into a log, then slice into 8 equal pieces. Place each piece on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Tip: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid a cheese burn.
Mmm, these biscuits are a masterpiece of textures—crispy on the outside, tender and layered inside, with pockets of melty cheese and pesto in every bite. Serve them warm with a drizzle of honey for a sweet and savory twist, or alongside a bowl of tomato soup for the ultimate comfort meal.
Caramelized Onion Cheddar Biscuits

So, you’ve decided to embark on a culinary adventure that promises to turn your kitchen into a bakery of dreams with these Caramelized Onion Cheddar Biscuits. Brace yourself for a flavor explosion that’ll make your taste buds dance the cha-cha!
Ingredients
- For the caramelized onions:
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- For the biscuits:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 3/4 cup buttermilk, cold
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onions, sugar, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until the onions are deeply golden and caramelized. Tip: Lower the heat if the onions are browning too quickly to avoid burning.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers to rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Tip: Keeping the butter cold ensures flaky biscuits.
- Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and caramelized onions until evenly distributed.
- Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir until just combined. Tip: Overmixing the dough will result in tough biscuits, so mix until the ingredients are just incorporated.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting for the best rise.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Marvel at your creation: these biscuits boast a crispy exterior with a tender, cheesy interior, punctuated by the sweet depth of caramelized onions. Serve them warm with a dollop of honey butter for an extra indulgent treat, or alongside a hearty soup for the ultimate comfort meal.
