Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (approximately 4 slices)

1/2 cup chopped green chiles (canned or fresh)

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well blended. This ensures an even rise for your biscuits.

      Incorporate Cold Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for creating flaky layers in the biscuits.

        Add Cheese and Bacon: Stir in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon, mixing until they are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.

          Fold in Green Chiles: Gently fold in the chopped green chiles, making sure they are spread throughout the dough without overworking it.

            Mix Wet Ingredients: Pour the buttermilk into the dough mixture. Using a wooden spoon, gently stir until the mixture comes together. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if the dough has a few lumps.

              Shape the Biscuits: Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Pat it down into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a biscuit cutter or a glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have a little space between each biscuit.

                Bake: Place the biscuits in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and they have risen nicely.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes. For an added touch, sprinkle with chopped fresh chives before serving. Enjoy these biscuits warm, ideally spread with a bit of butter or your favorite topping.
