Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds.
-
Step 2.
Increase the speed to medium-low and add the diced chilled butter, mixing until the butter pieces are the size of small peas, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Add the chopped Mama Lil's peppers and grated cheddar cheese, mixing on low until just distributed, about 30 seconds.
-
Step 4.
With the mixer running on low, pour in the chilled buttermilk and mix just until the dough comes together; it will be shaggy with some dry bits. Do not overmix.
-
Step 5.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
-
Step 6.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using a floured rolling pin, gently roll it into a 1½-inch-thick circle.
-
Step 7.
Cut out 12 biscuits using a 3-inch cutter, dipping the cutter in flour between cuts. Press straight down without twisting to ensure high rise.
-
Step 8.
Arrange the biscuits on two baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter.
-
Step 9.
Right before baking, reduce the oven temperature to 425°F. Bake until golden brown on top, 22 to 25 minutes, rotating the sheets halfway through. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before serving.
