Caramelized Onion and Walnut Biscuits with Blue Cheese Butter

I like the idea of these better than the actuality. I followed the recipe with certain misgivings and ended up with a very decent savory biscuit which, with a few changes, could be extraordinary. These are my changes: the walnuts should be ground, not chopped; the egg should be eliminated; half and half should be substituted for the milk. Finally, I would crumble the blue cheese into the flour with the butter and go with 4 ounces of cheese and 6 ounces of butter and 3 cups of flour.
