1 c All purpose flour
1 ts Baking powder
1/8 ts Baking soda
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Cold unsalted butter, cut
Into small pieces
1 ts Chopped jalepenos
1/4 c Plus 1 ts buttermilk
Preheat oven to 375~. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Sift
dry ingredients into a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork or fingers until
mixture is crumbly. Stir in pepper to taste. Add just enough buttemilk, a
little at a time, for mixture to come together into a smooth ball of dough.
Do not overwork dough. On a lightly floured surface roll out dough into a 7
inch round, 1/2 inch thick. Using a 1 inch cookie cutter press out 12
rounds. Reroll any scraps to make additional biscuits, but these will not
be as tender. Transfer rounds to baking sheet and bake 15 mins or until
tops are golden brown. Serve warm.
