Herb and Onion Wheat Biscuits


This is a SparkPeople.com Recipe (what's this)

Introduction

The onion is puréed so that its flavor carries throughout the biscuits. You can make and freeze the biscuits up to a week ahead. When ready to serve, thaw, wrap in foil, and heat in a 325º oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until thoroughly heated. The onion is puréed so that its flavor carries throughout the biscuits. You can make and freeze the biscuits up to a week ahead. When ready to serve, thaw, wrap in foil, and heat in a 325º oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

Ingredients

    Cooking spray1 cup chopped onion3/4 cup fat-free milk1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour1/2 cup whole wheat flour2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 teaspoon sugar1/4 teaspoon dried oregano1/4 teaspoon dried basil1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°.

Heat a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Add onion; cook 6 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently. Spoon onion into a blender. Add milk; process until smooth. Cool.

Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flours and next 5 ingredients (flours through basil) in a large bowl; cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add onion mixture; stir just until moist. Turn dough out onto a heavily floured surface (dough will be sticky), and knead lightly 5 times with floured hands. Roll dough to a 1/2-inch thickness; cut into 10 biscuits with a 3-inch biscuit cutter. Place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 12 minutes or until golden.

Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 biscuit)

    Great flavor and texture in a healthy biscuit! Save them of a day or two in the fridge, microwave for 10 seconds and eat with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Yum! - 3/5/07

    Ummm, Good! Instead of the butter, I put 2 Tbsp. olive oil in the blender with milk and onion. I can think of several different herbs to use to go with different entrees. - 5/23/10

    These were super delicious! I actually used chives instead of basil because, for some reason, I love the way onion and chive taste together. And they came out great! - 3/29/09

    Mine needed more milk because they were too dry as written. However, they tasted very good and each biscuit was a significant size for one serving. - 6/8/10
