Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1–2 fresh jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg (optional, for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and finely chopped jalapeños.
- Pour in buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together, being careful not to overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
- Fold the dough over onto itself 2-3 times, then pat it back to 1-inch thickness.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm.
Notes
For an extra pop of flavor, consider adding smoked paprika. Adjust spice by using more or less jalapeños.
