# Instructions:
01 -
First things first, preheat that oven to 425°F (220°C). Trust me, you want it hot! I always forget to do this at first, and then I’m standing there impatiently waiting for the oven to catch up. It’s like watching grass grow!
02 -
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. I like to whisk it together vigorously! This is where you can get out some of that pent-up energy—just don’t go flying flour everywhere like I did that one time!
03 -
Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. I use my fingers because, let’s be real, it’s more satisfying. But make sure your butter is cold; otherwise, it’ll turn into a gooey mess (I’ve been there!).
04 -
Now fold in the shredded cheddar and green chiles. The cheese should start to melt a little as you mix it in, and oh my goodness, the smell is heavenly! I sometimes add a bit more cheese because, well, cheese.
05 -
Pour in the buttermilk and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix! This part always gets chaotic in my kitchen because I can’t resist tasting the dough. Oops! It’s just too good.
06 -
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them in the oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes until they’re golden brown. You should see them puff up beautifully! And when you pull them out, the cheesy aroma will drive you wild!
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your ingredients are cold for flaky biscuits-trust me, a lesson I learned the hard way! Don’t skip the buttermilk; it’s crucial for that tender texture! If the dough seems too dry, add a splash more buttermilk-it’s an easy fix! Enjoy with a drizzle of honey for a sweet touch.
