Spicy and cheesy and comforting, these Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits are the perfect side dish. Serve them up with a bowl of soup or even alongside a savory breakfast. These biscuits have the perfect amount of spice and are buttery and delicious.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 4 oz cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 medium jalapenos seeded and minced
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions
- Cut the butter into cubes and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 475ºF.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter, and working with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. There will still be some chunks of butter, but they shouldn’t be more than the size of a pea.
- Add the buttermilk and stir until the mixture starts to come together. Add in the cheese and the jalapeños, stirring until the dough is mostly combined.
- Flour a counter or a work surface and turn the dough onto it. Knead the dough a few times, just enough to bring it all together.
- Using your hands or a rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 10 inches by 5 inches. Fold 1/3 of the dough on one side over onto the middle, then fold the opposite side over. (See the photos in the post for reference.)
- Pat the dough into another rectangle 5x10 inches. Fold each side to the middle again.
- Pat or roll the dough into one last rectangle, 10x5-inches, and use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits.
- Take any scraps and form them into a new rectangle. The more you work with the dough, the tougher the biscuits will become, so I only fold the scraps once instead of twice. Cut out the remaining biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
- Bake the biscuits until they have risen tall and are golden brown, about 16 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter before serving.
Notes
- To reduce waste and eliminate re-rolling dough, you can use a sharp knife to cut the dough into squares instead of using a biscuit cutter.
