Currently baking out of Baked by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito
The biscuit curse struck again! Not familiar with the biscuit curse? See this and this. One day, I may come to the realization that I was not put together in such a way as to produce a lovely biscuit (or scone, for that matter).
Back to these biscuits. I had to make a couple of substitutions. First, I couldn’t find chipotle powder anywhere, so I used chili powder. Secondly, the only cheese I had in the house was colby jack cheese, so that’s what I used. I also cut the recipe in half, because I didn’t want to end up with leftovers.
These days, leftovers seem to be going straight to my thighs.
This is a standard buttermilk biscuit recipe, with chipotle powder and grated cheese added. I don’t know if my changes are to blame, but I found these biscuits to be boring, and oddly enough, chewy. As is standard for me, they spread out, instead of up. To be fair, I should probably make these again, without all my changes.
They don’t look bad at all. Maybe this biscuit was meant to be out and not up? It could happen you know. I would expect the chili powder and the cheese to have made these zesty.
