CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH CARAMELIZED ONION GRAVY INGREDIENTS Biscuits 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 cup buttermilk Gravy 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 14 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups half-and-half Salt Freshly ground black pepper Pinch of cayenne pepper DIRECTIONS 1 Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2 Make the biscuits: In the bowl of a food processor, mix the flour with the baking powder and salt to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it’s the size of peas. Dump the mixture into a medium bowl, and stir in the cheddar cheese and buttermilk. 3 Scoop out 4 mounds of dough (about 3 inches in diameter each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown on top, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool slightly. 4 While the biscuits bake, make the gravy: Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over high heat. Add the onion, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside. 5 In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns light brown, 4 to 6 minutes. 6 Gradually add the half-and-half to the flour mixture, whisking vigorously to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thick, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the caramelized onions, then season the gravy with salt and pepper. 7 To serve, cut the warm biscuits in half and place the bottom halves on separate plates. Cover each portion generously with gravy and a pinch of cayenne pepper, then place the top halves over the gravy. Serve immediately.
