Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup canned green chiles, drained and chopped
3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green chiles until evenly distributed.
- Add the buttermilk and stir just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
- Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
- Serve warm, optionally with butter or additional cheddar cheese.
Notes
For a spicier kick, use hot green chiles or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dough.
These biscuits can be made ahead and frozen for convenience. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Use a cheese grater to shred your cheddar cheese for the best texture in the biscuits.
