By draingal

Yield: 6 biscuits.

Ingredients

• Seasoning Mix:
• 2 tablespoons each dried oregano, marjoram and basil
• 4 teaspoons dried savory
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
• 2 teaspoons rubbed sage.
• Biscuits:
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
• 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup shortening
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Combine seasoning mix ingredients. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place. For biscuits, saute 1 tablespoon mix and onion in 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet until onion is tender; set aside. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Combine egg, milk and onion mixture; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 10-15 times. Roll to 3/4-in thickness; cut with a 2-1/2-in, biscuit cutter. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Melt remaining butter; brush over biscuits. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450° for 10-14 minutes or until golden brown.
