Simple homemade biscuits.
It’s reminiscent of the savory red lobster biscuits, but with an added kick of jalapeno. These drop biscuits are as simple as they come.
And if you’re currently quarantined and low on ingredients, you’ve got plenty of options to make them. Like swapping pancake mix in for biscuit mix (which is exactly what I did). Or just make your own mix with pantry staples:
- ~ 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ~½ tsp of baking soda
And that should do the trick. These biscuits are best served warm with the following topping options: melted butter, hot sauce, with a sunny side up egg, and my personal vote – hot honey.
Time You Need
- 10 minutes prep
- 15-20 minutes cook time
- Yields ~8-9 biscuits
What You Need
- 2 ½ cups of pancake or biscuit batter (or make your own with homemade recipe above)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
- ~1 cup of finely shredded sharp cheddar
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 stick of cold butter and diced into fine cubes
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup of finely diced pickled jalapeno
What You Do
- Preheat oven to 375. Coat a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add pancake mix, brown sugar, garlic salt, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cubed butter.
- Use your fingers to gently mix the ingredients, pinching the cubed butter to incorporate it into the flour and dry ingredients.
- Then add milk, cheddar, jalapeno, and the beaten egg and mix to form a batter (it should feel something similar to cookie dough). Feel free to add a splash of milk if the dough is too try and not sticking, but only a little at a time. Remember, cookie dough consistency is key.
- Using a large spoon, form a large ball of dough/biscuit batter and drop onto the baking sheet. Repeat until no dough remains.
- Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with hot honey for delicious results.
