JALAPENO BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift the dry ingredients into a small bowl. Work the butter into the flour with a fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the jalapeno. Mix in the buttermilk a little at a time, adding just enough so that it comes together into a smooth ball of dough. Do not overwork the dough.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 7-inch round, 1/2 inch thick. Using a 1-inch cookie cutter, press out 12 rounds. Reroll scraps to make additional biscuits. Transfer the rounds to the baking sheet. Bake until the tops are golden and the bottoms browned, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

JALAPENO POPPER MINI BISCUITS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Cut the stem end off the jalapenos, cut each in half lengthwise and remove and discard the seeds (wear food-grade gloves if your skin is sensitive). Arrange the jalapenos skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, and brush with the oil. Broil until the peppers are blackened and puffy, 3 to 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off the skins (running under cold water helps). Cut 2 of the halves into large dice so you have 32 pieces (1 for the top of each biscuit); set aside. Finely chop the rest of the peppers, and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Switch the oven from broil to bake, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking sheet, and line it with parchment. Beat the egg well in a small bowl.
• Add the cream cheese, mozzarella and half the egg to the bowl with the chopped peppers, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix to combine.
• Separate the biscuit rounds, and cut each into quarters. Make a deep indentation in the center of each quarter, and fill with a heaping teaspoon of the pepper-cheese mixture (it will mound above the biscuit a fair amount). Brush any exposed biscuit with the remaining beaten egg. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and golden around the top, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish each with a piece of reserved jalapeno.

JALAPENO CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small skillet, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Saute jalapenos until soft, about 2 minutes. Place in a small bowl with Cheddar cheese and coat with 1 tablespoon of flour. In another bowl, combine the rest of the flour with baking powder and salt. Cut in remaining butter with a fork until the butter is pea-size.
• Lightly whip eggs and cream and add to the flour-and-butter mixture. Using a wooden spoon, fold mixture until it begins to come together. Add the Cheddar-and-jalapeno mixture to the dough and mix until everything is incorporated. Refrain from over mixing.
• Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead gently for less than one minute. Roll dough 3/4 to 1-inch thick and cut into 8 triangles. Brush with egg wash and place on well-oiled baking sheet.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

JALAPENO BEER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir in the peppers.
• Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add the beer a few tablespoons at a time, tossing the mixture with a fork until it clings together into a ball. You may not need all the beer; the dough should be only slightly sticky and still easy to handle.
• Lightly sprinkle a countertop with flour. With your hands, gently pat the dough out into a round about three-quarters of an inch thick. Using a cookie cutter or small glass, cut the dough into rounds about two and a half inches in diameter. Place those on the baking sheet. Pull the dough scraps together into a ball, pat it out and cut more biscuits.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown. Serve very hot with lots of butter.
