Two days. Two days is the time it takes for my family to finish off an entire batch of gougeres. I'm out of cheese, so I can't make more. Hoping for a quick substitute that Charlie might deign to fill up on, I baked Saint-Germain-des-Pres Onion Biscuits (pg 8). It tastes like a biscuit with onions in it. hahaha--I have such a talent for stating the obvious, don't you think? There's not much else to say about them. They're flatter and thinner than a standard Southern biscuit, are crusty-crunchy on the bottom and moist inside. They reminded me more of a scone, but I'm not clear on the technical distinction between a biscuit and a scone, so I'll take Dorie's word for it that this is a biscuit.
Conclusion: Liked it. They were simple to make and are tastier, because of the onion, than a standard biscuit. They went well with my asparagus soup lunch, and I know I ate more of them than I should have. Charlie's not crazy about them. I never know what this boy will eat.
Ooh, the minute you said aspargus soup, I perked up! I'll have to make that as the dish that goes with these biscuits.
