Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
- 0.5 cup Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing tops)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the diced green chiles and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
Fold the rectangle in half and pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create flaky layers.
Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut more biscuits.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
