Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk, cold
- 0.5 cup Green chiles, roasted, peeled, and diced
- 0.75 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Butter, melted (for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the diced green chiles and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut additional biscuits until dough is used up.
Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Optional: Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy!
