Buttermilk Cheddar Jalapeno Biscuits


Prep Time 15 Minutes
Cook Time 20 Minutes
Servings 4Difficulty Easy

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1-½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 12 Tablespoons (1 1/2 Sticks) Cold Unsalted Butter, Diced
  • ½ cups Cold Buttermilk, Shaken
  • 1 whole Cold Large Egg
  • 1 cup Grated, Extra-sharp Cheddar
  • 1 whole Jalapeño, Seeded, Diced
  • 1 whole Egg, Beaten With 1 Tablespoon Of Milk (for Egg Wash)

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, add the butter and mix until the butter is the size of peas.
Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. With the mixer still on low, quickly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. In a small bowl, mix the jalapeno and cheddar with small handful of flour and, with the mixer still on low, add them to the dough. Mix only until roughly combined.
Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to a rectangle 10 by 5 inches. With a sharp, floured knife, cut the dough lengthwise in half and then across in quarters, making 8 rough rectangles. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt, if using, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.
