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 shredded sharp cheddar cheese

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

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

3/4 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      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 the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized chunks of butter.

        Add Cheese, Bacon, and Chiles: Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, and diced green chiles until evenly distributed.

          Mix with Buttermilk: Pour in the buttermilk and stir using a spatula or large spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.

            Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Gently pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Fold it over a couple of times to create layers, then cut out biscuits using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.

                Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top if desired.

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