Ingredients

  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (see notes)
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp chopped chipotle peppers + 1 Tbsp adobo sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • Coarse salt, for topping

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, black pepper, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • Work the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your hands, until it resembles coarse meal. Blend in shredded cheddar cheese.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and egg until well combined.
  • Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir together with a wooden spoon until just incorporated. Do not over-mix.
  • Scoop about ¼ cup of the dough with a measuring cup or a small ice cream scoop and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake for about 19-21 minutes, rotating pans halfway through, until biscuits are golden brown.

Notes

  • If you prefer to use less cheese, you can cut down to a cup and these biscuits will still be delicious, but not quite as flavorful.
