Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed and very cold)
  • 1 ½ tablespoons pickled jalapeños (chopped)
  • ½ cup buttermilk (*See note)
  • ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 450°F, and line the bottom of an 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the flour, baking powder, and salt into a food processor and pulse to combine.
  • Add the butter and jalapeños, and pulse just until the flour resembles coarse cornmeal.
  • With the food processor still running, slowly drizzle in just enough buttermilk to make the dough come together.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Sprinkle 1/4 of the cheese over the dough. Fold the dough in half so the cheese is on the inside. Pat it down again so it's about a 1-inch thick. Sprinkle another 1/4 of the cheese over the dough and repeat the process. Continue until all the cheese has been used.
  • Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut biscuits out of the dough. Do not twist as you cut.
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  • Serve warm. See post for storage options.
