Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients—flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda—then incorporating cold, cubed butter by hand until the mixture becomes slightly grainy. This technique helps produce flaky layers by coating flour with fat. Buttermilk, diced jalapeno, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese are added to form a soft dough. If the dough feels sticky, extra flour is incorporated to adjust consistency.
After gentle mixing, the dough is rolled out to about ¾ inch thickness and cut into roughly 2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter. Baking at 450°F for 7 to 9 minutes develops a golden crust while preserving a tender interior. The jalapeno offers a gentle warmth, and the cheddar adds a rich, salty depth, creating a savory biscuit with a balanced flavor profile.

- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
Instructions
