Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 1 small to medium onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1 1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1 2 teaspoons baking powder
1 3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
1 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
1 1 cup sourdough starter, unfed

Steps:

  • 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 425F. 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.
  • Cut in the starter until the dough becomes 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.
  • Yield: eight 2 1/2" biscuits.
