Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk (cold)
• 0.5 cup Green chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing tops)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the diced green chiles and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).

Step 5

Pour in the cold buttermilk and stir gently with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 7

Fold the rectangle in half and pat it out again. Repeat this process 2-3 times to create flaky layers.

Step 8

Using a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Re-gather and re-roll the scraps as needed to cut more biscuits.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and a golden finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
