Servings 8 biscuits

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour (360g)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 10 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut in half inch pieces
  • 2 ounces Monterey Pepper Jack cheese, finely grated
  • 1 minced jalapeno
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 cup full fat buttermilk, plus two tablespoons

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small skillet cook the bacon and jalapeno until the bacon is cooked, but still tender. Drain the fat off the bacon and jalapeno and cut the bacon in quarter inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the butter is the size of peas. Using a fork, gradually stir in the buttermilk. Then add the bacon, cheese, and jalapeno. Try and stir as little as possible.
  • On a floured board, pat the dough into a one inch thick rectangle. Using a three inch biscuit cutter, cut out 8 biscuits. It's ok to reroll the dough, but try to handle the dough as little as possible.
  • Place the biscuits on a heavy, parchment lined baking sheet, and brush the tops of each biscuit with buttermilk. Bake them about 18 minutes or until they're light brown.
