Description
Savory Bacon and Spicy Jalapeño Biscuits
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon bits
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pickled jalapeños (adjust for heat preference)
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Begin by heating your oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper, whisking until well mixed.
- Incorporate the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or your fingertips, blending until the mixture appears crumbly.
- Fold in the cheddar cheese, bacon bits, and chopped jalapeños, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Gently add the buttermilk, stirring just until the dough comes together; it should remain a bit sticky without being overworked.
- Scoop generous portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden and puffed.
- Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before enjoying them warm.
Notes
- For an extra layer of heat, substitute fresh jalapeños for the pickled variety.
- For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a tablespoon of honey to the buttermilk before mixing.
