Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup butter cold, cut into small cubes
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 jalapeños seeded and diced
- 1 cup buttermilk cold
- 4 oz cream cheese softened and cut into 3 slices
- 2 Tbsp butter melted for brushing on top
Instructions
- In a large food processor combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and butter. Pulse everything together until butter forms into pea sized balls.
- Next, add in the cheddar and jalapenos and pulse 1-2 times to combine.
- Then, add in the buttermilk and pulse 3-4 times until the dough looks shaggy. Note: the dough will be a little dry.
- Next pour the dough out onto a clean surface and lightly knead into a 1 inch thick square and cut the dough into 4 pieces.
- Add a slice of cream cheese on top of 3 of the pieces and spread evenly over the top.
- Layer the 3 cream cheese pieces on top of each other and then the piece without cream cheese on top and roll out into a 1-inch-thick rectangle.
- Cut into 12 biscuits and place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze in the freezer for 15 minutes. While the dough is freezing, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After the dough has chilled, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until they are golden on top.
- Finally, serve and enjoy!
