Tender, cheesy, delicious and the best cheese biscuit/scone I've ever made.
The ingredients are basic: all purpose flour, butter, sharp cheddar cheese (I used white), buttermilk......They get an added kick from black pepper and smoky chipotle chile pepper which you can adjust according to your taste.
The dough comes together easily in 1 bowl using the standard method: blend dry ingredients, rub in butter, add cheese, toss with wet ingredients. The dough is wet and sticky so just scoop and drop on the baking sheet - no kneading required.
I recently reviewed the cheddar-scallion scones from Flour and, though they were very good, I only gave them a 4-star rating - these biscuits are 5-star worthy!
These were excellent! I went full tilt on the chipotle powder (1 Tablespoon) because I appreciate (and need) a little kick in the morning. I thought these were most delicious warm out of the oven drizzled with honey, but also very satisfying as part of a bacon and scrambled egg sandwich. I topped mine with smoked salt (rather than the kosher) but other than that followed the recipe to a "T". These would also be good alongside a bowl of chili or soup.
