Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits have a little zip from both cajun seasoning and jalapenos. If you like spicy foods, why not spice up your buttermilk biscuits and add a little cheese for good measure?
1 1/4cups plus 2 tablespoonscold whole buttermilk,divided
10thin slices jalapeno
Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, Cajun seasoning, and salt.
Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture is crumbly. There should be no pieces of butter larger than a pea.
Stir in jalapeno and cheddar cheese.
Make a well in the center and pour the 1 1/4 cups buttermilk in. Stir just until all the flour is moistened.
Knead in the bowl until the dough comes together. Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead a few times.
Roll to 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter to cut the dough.Reroll scraps and cut more biscuits. You should get about 10 biscuits.
Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet so that they gently touch. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. Place a jalapeno slice on the top of each one.
