I am in love with how great these biscuits turned out! Seriously, I was doing a happy dance in my kitchen after tasting one. Actually, part of it was happy dance but the other part was “ouch, ouch, burned my mouth….should have let it cool first…this is delicious but ouch!!”
Warning: let biscuits cool before biting into it!
It will be hard to wait for them to cool down, I know, but you must. Or just don’t blame be for any ouchies you get.

Jalapeño Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 Tbsp cold unsalted butter
- 1 cup cold low fat buttermilk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 seeded minced jalapeno
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- Pinch white granulated sugar
- Little more shredded cheddar to top biscuits
Instructions
- -Preheat the oven to 425 and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a bowl of an electric mixer, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, white pepper and salt. Mix on low to combine ingredients.
- Chop cold butter into pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Mix on low, until batter resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour cold buttermilk into the center of the mixture. Mix until just combined. Add cheese and minced jalapenos, mix until just incorporated, dough will be sticky.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and sprinkle with a little more flour. Knead dough 5-6 times and pat into a 1/2 inch-think circle.
- Using a cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter), cut out the biscuits. Rework dough scraps into a ball (kneading it as little as possible) and shape it into a circle again. Cut out more biscuits.
- Place biscuits on the baking sheet leaving about an inch in between.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until raised and golden brown.

Yummy! I will definitely make these again. Might leave some seeds in the jalapenos next time because my husband and I like a little more spice.
