Tex Mex Biscuits

Ingredients:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup chopped green chilies
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
– 3/4 cup buttermilk
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
– Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder until well combined.

3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green chilies, and fresh cilantro until evenly distributed.

5. Slowly pour in the buttermilk and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Use a biscuit cutter or a round glass to cut out biscuits.

7. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg wash.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.

9. Optional: sprinkle the freshly baked biscuits with additional shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro before serving.
