Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits


Looking for a great side to go with chili or tomato soup? Here it is! These Jalapeno Cheddar Biscuits are hearty but light & will
spice up any meal.

Preheat oven to 400*
Ingredients:
1 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
4 tsp. baking powder
(Although I used 3 1/2 tsp baking powder, high altitude adjustment)
1 tsp. sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
whisk above ingredients together until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together:
1 c. milk
(I used 1%, you may use any kind, even buttermilk if you'd like)
1/4 c. canola oil
Add wet ingredients to dry and fold them gently with spatula until almost combined.

Then add:
2 Tb. canned diced jalapenos
(if you like spice, add 3 Tb jalapenos)
3/4 c. cheddar cheese
Gently fold into biscuit mixture until it comes together.
Turn out dough onto lightly floured surface and knead gently 8-10 times. Then press down until dough is 3/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutter or the rim of a drinking glass to make 10-12 biscuits. Place biscuits onto lightly sprayed cookie sheet and bake at 400* for 10-12 minutes.
(Turn cookie sheet halfway through baking time.)

Biscuits with a kick! Enjoy!
