Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 packet French onion soup mix
- 0.75 cups Shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the French onion soup mix and shredded Gruyère or Swiss cheese until evenly combined.
Pour the milk into the bowl and gently stir with a spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
Use a round biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut out biscuits. Gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut out additional biscuits.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Optional: Sprinkle the warm biscuits with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Easy French Onion Biscuits with soup, salad, or as a stand-alone snack!
