Birdseed Buttermilk Biscuits With Cheddar Cheese

Directions

1. * Note: Look for millet at health food stores.
2. Place flour, baking pwdr, 1/8 tsp. salt, onion, cheese, millet and butter in food processor fitted with metal blade. Mix till cheese and butter are coarsely minced. Drizzle buttermilk proportionately over mix. Pulse till dough starts to clump together. Don't pulse longer than necessary. Dough will be very wet.
3. Transfer to well-floured board. Sprinkle top of dough with flour. Fold dough over and back onto itself till smooth, 3 to 5 times, adding flour as needed to keep it from sticking to board. Press dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch round cutter.
4. Transfer biscuits to greased baking sheet. Mix egg and 1/2 tsp. salt with fork till lightly blended. Lightly brush tops of biscuits with egg glaze. Bake at 400 degrees till golden brown, about 16 min. Transfer to wire rack. Cold at least 15 min before serving. (Can also be completely cooled, then frzn in an airtight plastic bag for 1 month. Let come to room temperature before reheating. Serve hot. Biscuits reheat best in microwave.)
5. This recipe yields 6 biscuits.
