Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Box grater
- Bench scraper
- Sheet pan
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
Ingredients
- 1 cup self-rising flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter frozen
- ½ cup gruyere cold
- ½ cup caramelized onions cold
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme
- ½ cup milk cold
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, grate cold butter and gruyere into the self-rising flour.
- Add the caramelized onions to the mix, and toss it all together so the butter, cheese, and onions are evenly distributed and coated in flour.
- Fold in the milk. When it's mostly combined, turn out onto a floured counter. Fold 7 times until cohesive and all the dry mix is incorporated.
- Form into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut into 6 equal wedges. Place on a lined baking sheet with 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
