These Spicy Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits are a delightful twist on classic biscuits, featuring a hint of chili for a flavorful kick.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, chili powder, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Mixing the dry ingredients thoroughly ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Keep the butter cold to achieve a flaky texture in the biscuits.
Stir in the cheddar cheese and buttermilk until just combined, forming a soft dough.
Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits tender.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and gently knead it a few times.
Kneading lightly helps bring the dough together without making it tough.
Roll out the dough to about 3/4 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter.
Press straight down with the cutter to ensure the biscuits rise evenly.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
Brushing with butter gives the biscuits a golden, flavorful crust.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Check the biscuits a few minutes before the end of baking to prevent overbrowning.
Serve the biscuits warm and enjoy!
Pair with your favorite soup or enjoy with a pat of butter for a delicious treat.
