Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup crispy bacon, cooked and chopped (about 6 slices)

1 cup diced green chiles (canned or fresh, drained)

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until you achieve a texture similar to coarse crumbs, ensuring there are still pea-sized chunks of butter throughout.

        Incorporate Cheese, Bacon, and Chiles: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped crispy bacon, and diced green chiles. Mix until these ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          Mix with Buttermilk: Gradually pour in the buttermilk while stirring with a spatula or large spoon. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as the dough should remain slightly sticky.

            Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold the dough over itself a couple of times to create layers, then use a biscuit cutter or a floured glass to cut out biscuits. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

                Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Serve them warm, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an added pop of flavor and color.

                  Enjoy: These scrumptious Green Chile Bacon Biscuits make a delightful breakfast or a side dish for brunch. Pair them with scrambled eggs or a rich gravy for a truly satisfying meal!
