Quick Biscuits On Grill
These quick grill biscuits are crispy, savory, and perfect for outdoor gatherings or a flavorful snack, combining buttery baking mix with crunchy French fried onions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the baking mix and water to form a soft dough, then knead in 1/2 cup of French fried onions.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface.
- Cut the dough into pieces and place them on a cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle remaining French fried onions on top of the pieces if desired.
- Place the cookie sheet over a square pan of water and cook on a grill for approximately 45 minutes, or bake in an oven at 375°F for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter biscuit, try substituting half of the baking mix with whole wheat flour. If you prefer a cheesy flavor, add shredded cheese to the dough. Make sure not to over-knead the dough; a soft touch ensures fluffiness. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme. Also, check the grill periodically to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect as a side for a hearty meal or as a snack on their own. They pair wonderfully with soups, stews, or even alongside a fresh salad like Cranberry Nut Yellow Salad. For a fun twist, serve them with a dipping sauce or spread like herb butter or Sassafras Jelly for added flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to three months. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through. This method helps retain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of onions instead of French fried onions?
Absolutely! You can substitute with chopped green onions for a fresher taste or use caramelized onions for a sweeter flavor. If you prefer a crunch, try adding crispy shallots or even a sprinkle of onion powder for flavor without the texture.
What if I don't have a grill?
No worries! You can easily bake these biscuits in a conventional oven at 375°F for about 45 minutes. Just place the dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper instead of using a cookie sheet over water.
How can I make these biscuits vegan?
To make a vegan version, simply replace the water with a plant-based milk like almond or soy milk. Ensure your baking mix is vegan-friendly, as some may contain dairy. For added flavor, consider using vegan cheese in the dough.
