- 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1⁄2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
- 3⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1⁄2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into bits

- 5 jalapenos, seeded and minced (2 inches long, don’t forget to wear kitchen gloves!)
- 1 1⁄4 cups sour cream
directions
- Make biscuits: Into a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and the salt; add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal.
- Stir in the cheddar and the chilies; add the sour cream and stir the mixture until it just forms a soft, but not sticky, dough.
- Knead the dough gently for 20 seconds (about 6 turns) on a lightly-floured surface.
- Roll or pat it out ½ inch thick and with a 3 ½ inch cookie cutter, cut out 8 rounds.
- Bake on an ungreased baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 430F oven for 15-17 minutes, or until they are golden.

Fantastic Biscuit. I have always had problems making biscuits, but these were great. I will admit that I didn't use the minced jalapeno, I just used a little pepper sauce. I will use the minced jalapeno next time though, I just didn't have any in the house this time. This recipe made 10 very large biscuits for me.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
