Sweet Pepper Biscuits

I made these today to go along with brunch. They are very simple to do, a basic biscuits with stuff added.

Sweet Pepper Biscuits

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups unbleached flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 table spoons cold butter, diced
1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup of sweet red and yellow peppers, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1/4 cup of cilantro, minced
1/2 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup shallots, minced

Directions
Mix all dry ingredients together, cut in cold butter with a fork. Now add the balance of the ingredients; it will get to a point that you will need to use your hands. Do not over mix or the dough will get tough.

I break off pieces and place them in a mini muffin tin. Bake for about 12 minutes at 450 degrees or until golden brown on the edges.

Quick and easy.

I have also added to the basic biscuit recipe, minced fresh mint and served them with fresh berries and cream.

Or you can add garlic and cheese and serve them with a chill.

The Variations are endless.

Enjoy cooking
