Jalapeno Cheese Buttermilk Biscuit

Last time I made butter, I had all this liquid left from the first press of the butter.  It tasted amazing in these biscuits.  That being said, it's much easier and still yum to use ready-made buttermilk.  Also, the cheese really effects the flavor, so definitely use a cheese that you like!

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into medium size cubes

1/4-1/2 cup jalapenos, chopped fine

1.5 cups cheese, grated (fontina, mozzarella, and cheddar taste good)

1 cup buttermilk

Directions

1. Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.

2. Beat in the butter until the mix is crumbly.

3. Using a spoon or spatula, mix in the jalapenos and cheese.

4. Mix in the buttermilk, until just combined. The dough will be wet and sticky.

5. Drop by the tablespoonful onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a Silpat. They should be about 1 inch apart.

6. Bake at 450 F for 10-12 min (until the top turns a very light brown)
