Ingredients
-
3 cups of self-rising flour
-
10 Tablespoons of cold butter, cubed
-
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
-
2 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
-
1 jalapeno, minced
-
Zest of 1 lime
-
¾ to 1 cup of milk
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
Using either a pastry cutter, fork, or knife blend the butter and flour until the butter is pea- sized and covered in flour. You do not want the butter to get warm – so do not use your fingers.
Step 2
Blend the cheese, corn, jalapeno, zest, and milk (see note on milk) into the flour mixture using a fork, just until the dough forms into a ball/ mound.
Note: Start with the ¾ cup of milk and only add additional if needed to get the dough to form into a ball. If your flour is very dry – you may need a little additional milk.
Step 3
Put parchment paper on a baking sheet, or spray with a cooking spray.
Spoon mounds (approximately 2 tablespoon size) onto the baking sheet. Place them 1 inch apart.
An alternative method is to gently flatten the dough to ½ inch thickness. Use a 2 ½ inch circular cutter to cut the biscuits and place them on the baking sheet 1 inch apart.
Step 4
Bake 10-15 minutes until golden on the top.
Place on a cooling rack to cool slightly.
