Cheddar Chive and Jalapeño Biscuits
Do you hear that? That’s me patting myself on the back. I have conquered biscuits.
I know, I know my blog name does include bake. I began Sweet Life as a way to practice my baking skills, learn new techniques and practice..practice. The thing is I might have subconsciously slid biscuits to the back end of my baking practice.
Have I made them before? Yes.
Did they resemble hockey pucks and taste like saw dust? Yes. Yes. and Yes.
I live in fear of my family requesting biscuits. So lame.
This weekend as I browsed Joy’s new cookbook my eyes scanned over Jalapeno biscuits. Dang.
I flipped past the recipe 3 times and kept on coming back to them. Dang.
When I read her recipe I thought you know I can do this. The steps were simple, the ingredients were right up my alley (jalapeno-swoon) and she states “the mixture will be shaggy,” okay I can do shaggy.
So I did. And guess what? They were light, fluffy, bursting with jalapeno flavor. No hockey puck, no saw dust.
To say I was excited is putting it mildly. Picture a happy dance, because it so happened.
Hello biscuits lovers these babies are loaded with jalapeno studded, cheddar cheese and chives.
Brushed with buttermilk and dusted with salt.
Everything needed for a hearty breakfast. Serve alongside eggs a steamy cup of coffee and you set.
Enjoy!

What a beautifully flavored biscuit! They look perfectly done and delicious!
I agree, these things are delicious. I was pretty darn proud of myself for making a light fluffy biscuit also. Loved this recipe. And the best part? I’ve got a large baggie of them in the freezer. They’re great for unthawing a couple for a quick breakfast.
Beautiful pictures! I thought this was the best biscuit recipe I’ve ever tried–great texture.
i think these will go straight to my to make asap list! They look so so good!
A beautiful, flaky biscuit is a wonderful thing to behold and I’m glad you’ve conquered them! They sound delicious!
So many delicious ingredients in the same recipe. They must be a delight!
Cheers,
Lia.
Love savory biscuits and these look so good!
I know the feeling, my biscuits are used to patch holes in the driveway… this one I am gonna try, love jalapeño cornbread so a cheddar biscuit has got to be better…
they looks sinful. as in I would eat them all before letting anyone else have one! I love cheddar and chive together
Those are my kinda biscuits! Love bread with a spicy kick. Beautiful!
Qué ricos, se ven deliciosos y las fotos preciosas!
Saludos
These look amazing! I gave biscuits a try a few months ago and was surprised that they weren’t as tough as I thought they’d be, perhaps I’ll have to give these a whirl esp since I have some jalapenos that need using!
Woah! These are a show stealer! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
“Jalapeno…swoon!” I completely agree. I knew before reading your post that I would be making these! I’m not much of a baker either (and definitely not biscuits) but I’m adding these to my must-make PIN board! YAY!
Congrats on conquering biscuits. These seem to be a favorite from the book. I have them marked to make – they look awesome!
Totally drool-worthy.
I’m pretty biscuit inept also so maybe I should give these a go! They look delicious!
They look terrific! I love the flavors.
Cheers,

These biscuits look delicious! Hee, hee…shaggy.
They look delicious! I love how they look with the orange-colored cheddar and beautiful salt on top!
You definitely rocked out some amazing looking biscuits. I’m going to be making this recipe sooner rather than later. They just look amazing!
