I served these alongside chicken tortilla soup. Biscuits rose nice and fluffy. My pickled jalapenos were spicy but the flavor mellowed within the mixture, resulting in a non-spicy but flavorful biscuit.

I needed a roll or biscuit that would add "zip" to my BBQ turkey breast meal...and these really fit the spot...just enough heat, a great biscuit.Will be a regular on my list!

Just made these on a whim because I have fresh jalepenos in my garden that my husband always plants, but we never know what to do with until fall/chili season. What a tasty recipe! Easy to make and they smell great while baking as well.

Really good. I didn't roll them out I just dropped spoonfuls on a cookie sheet and they cooked up just fine. Really good flavor.
