Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in the diced green chiles and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour in the cold buttermilk and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently 3-4 times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits. Gather the scraps, reshape, and cut additional biscuits until dough is used up.

Step 8

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: Brush the tops of the hot biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
