Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces for the best texture.
• If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before dicing.
• For extra cheesy biscuits, sprinkle some additional grated cheese on top before baking.

Storage and Serving

• Tex-Mex Biscuits are best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
