Onion Biscuits

Cooking spray
1 c minced fresh onion
2 c Baking Mix#4 plus 1 tbsp (see below)
3 tbsp vegetable shortening
3/4c low-fat buttermilk (see below)
1 egg lightly beaten, or 1/4c egg substitute
2 tsp water

Preheat oven to 450°. Heat a small nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté 8 minutes or until golden brown. Cool. Lightly spoon Baking Mix#4 into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Place flour in a food processor. Add the shortening, and pulse 2 times or until combined. Sprinkle onion mixture over the flour mixture. With the processor on, slowly add the buttermilk through the food chute, and process until the dough forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Pat the dough into an 8 x 6-inch rectangle, and cut into 12 squares. Place on a baking sheet. Combine egg and water, and brush over the biscuits. Bake at 450° for 11 minutes or until golden.
