Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min.

Yield: 10 Servings

30 10 40

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons brown sugar
1 sweet onion, halved and thinly sliced
DOUGH:
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoons cold butter
1 egg
1 cup (8 ounces) plain yogurt

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar until blended; add onion. Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until onion is golden brown, stirring frequently. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the flours, brown sugar, baking powder, sage, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and yogurt; stir into crumb mixture just until combined (dough will be sticky). Stir in a third of the onion mixture.
Drop by 1/4 cupfuls 2 in. apart onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Gently press remaining onion mixture onto dough. Bake at 425° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 10 biscuits.
