Seeded Onion Biscuits

Yield: 9 biscuits

Ingredients

• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons chilled butter, sliced thinly
• 1/2 cup nonfat milk (approximately)
• 1 tablespoon sesame or sunflower seeds or 1 1/2 teaspoons poppy or caraway seeds

Instructions

1. Set aside 1/2 cup onions for topping.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and butter in mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture has a fine, crumbly texture.
3. Lightly beat in 1/2 cup onions and enough milk (1/2 cup, more or less) to make a soft dough. Do not over-beat or the biscuits will become tough.
4. Turn dough onto lightly floured board and gently pat into 7-inch square. Cut into 9 equal squares.
5. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chopped onion and choice of seeds. Transfer to baking sheet.
6. Bake at 450 degrees F for 20 minutes or until done.

Notes

For best results, eat fresh and hot from the oven.
