Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 25 min.

Yield: 15 Servings

10 15 25

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
5 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup 2% milk
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons diced pickled jalapeno slices

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, thyme and paprika. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk, cheese and jalapeno.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat or roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake at 450° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 15 biscuits.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.

Cheddar Tip

Select sharp cheddar when using packaged shredded cheese from recipes that you’d like to have a bolder flavor. If you will be shredding cheese at home from bulk cheddar, you can choose from mild, medium, sharp and extra sharp.
