Jalapeño & Smoked Gouda Biscuits with Honey Butter

Step 1

1 Prepare the ingredients Remove the butter from the refrigerator to soften. Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the scallions. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then finely chop. Thoroughly wash your hands immediately after handling.

Step 2

2 Bake the biscuits In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, sour cream, sliced scallions, half the grated cheese, 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the chopped pepper as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the biscuits to be. Gently stir until just combined (be careful not to overmix). Lightly oil a sheet pan. Scoop the biscuit dough into 4 equal-sized dollops; place on the oiled sheet pan. Evenly top each biscuit with the remaining grated cheese. Bake 14 to 16 minutes, or until the biscuits are set and cooked through. Remove from the oven.

Step 3

3 Make the honey butter & serve your dish Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the softened butter and honey (kneading the packet before opening). Using a fork, mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the baked biscuits topped with the honey butter. Enjoy!
