Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and melt butter in a skillet. Cook onions until golden brown.

  3. Cut cold butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Fold in goat’s cheese, softened onions, and dill until just mixed.
  5. Add milk and stir until the mixture just comes together.
  6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, pat into a disc, and cut into wedges or rounds.
