It’s no joke that it’s been hot this month.  While my dad put up a fan for me in the kitchen and it works great it’s still a little too hot to be in the kitchen baking all day long in the summer.  That’s why when I found out the theme for this months Bread Bakers, hosted by Sue of A Palatable Pastime, was peppers I decided to make biscuits.

Biscuits are a great choice because they don’t take long in the oven.  They also don’t need time to rise so they are a quick and easy bread.   They go great with breakfast, lunch, or dinner so they are versatile as well.  I was going to do jalapeno cheddar biscuits but I’ve those before so I thought I’d go with a different pepper.

Now, a few months ago my mom called and asked if I wanted any green chiles in the small 4 ounce cans.  She said she could get them for a deal and how many did I want.  I told her I use them a lot in my Mexican cooking and I’d take 5 or 6.   Fast forward a few weeks and when she comes to my house I look in my box and find TWENTY-FOUR cans of green chiles.  Needless to say, I’ve been trying to use them at every chance I get.

So instead of jalapenos I decided to use the green chiles in my cheddar biscuits.  I wanted to use a new recipe so I gathered all of my ingredients and whipped up a batch at lunch time.  I was super hungry and was excited to pull them out of the oven.  The only problem was when I went to pull them out they were flat.  The biscuits hadn’t risen at all.  I ended up throwing them away because they were hard and flat.

I really wanted biscuits for lunch so I went back to my go to recipe.  Forget using something new, I was going with what I knew worked.  I substituted in the green chiles for the jalapenos and added a few seasonings.   When it came time to pull these guys out of the oven they looked great.

These biscuits are fluffy and flavorful.   The cheddar is definitely in them but it’s not overpowering.   The green chiles add a nice bit of heat but again they aren’t too spicy.  I simply had one with a salad but these would be great with soup or even used as the bread for a sandwich.
