How to Make Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by heating your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
3. Add Butter: Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two forks, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Mix in Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of your flour mixture. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until the mixture begins to come together.
5. Add Flavors: Gently fold in the chopped jalapeño, garlic powder, and grated cheddar cheese.
6. Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a glass.
7. Bake: Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden and fluffy.
8. Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.

Helpful Tips

• Cold Butter is Key: Keeping your butter cold ensures that your biscuits will be flaky and rise beautifully.
• Don’t Overmix: Mix the dough until just combined to keep the biscuits tender.
• Spacing: Place biscuits close together on the baking sheet for softer sides or spaced apart for crisper edges.

Substitutions/Variations

• Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free blend.
• Add Heat: For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dry ingredients.
• Different Cheese: Feel free to use Pepper Jack or another spicy cheese for a different flavor profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these biscuits ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate overnight. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to bake!

Can I use canned jalapenos? Absolutely, canned jalapenos can be used. Make sure to drain them well to avoid adding extra moisture to the dough.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm.
