Cheddar Chipotle Drop Biscuits

Yum. I was in the mood to bake tonight, but nothing too strenuous - just simple and quick, and tasty. These came out perfectly, with tons of flavor and a light, airy texture. Impressive for a drop biscuit with cheese in it! Neal loves them, and demanded that I save the recipe. So I am.

2 cups flour - I used Wheat Montana Natural White.
1 cup buttermilk - I used some store brand. I would've preferred Wilcox, which is crazy thick and delicious, but I had the store brand on hand.
3/4 stick of butter
2.5 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar - ideally Sugar in the Raw
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1.5 to 2 cups cheddar, grated. This time I used Tillamook, but next time I'll go with a fancypants cheddar just for kicks, like the Hook's 10 year. Maybe even the 12 year, but those will be some expensive-ass biscuits.
3 teaspoons chipotle peppers in adobo.

How to do it: Take the dry stuff (ie not the butter, buttermilk, cheddar, or chipotle). Stir together in a bowl. Cut the butter into chunks and blend into the dry stuff with your fingers, or if you feel like doing more dishes, a pastry cutter. Stir in the cheddar. Combine the buttermilk and chipotle in a separate bowl, because that will distribute the chipotle more evenly, which you want. Nobody likes to suddenly bite into a ginormous hunk of chipotle when they're enjoying a cheesy, slightly smoky and richly spicy biscuit. Then pour that into the other bowl. Stir just till combined. Drop onto a buttered baking sheet (you can get 12 big biscuits). Bake at 450 F for about 15 minutes. Cool and eat.

I would post a picture, but I couldn't find my camera cord for the longest time. And now that I've found it, I can't find the camera. Naturellement.

Wait, never mind. Found it. And here is the crappiest picture ever taken of an awesome biscuit. Please don't let this dissuade you from making these. I'm not good at taking pictures in the first place, so once my ability to, you know, SEE what I'm photographing is removed, it's pretty damn hit or miss. Also, my kitchen is indeed a mess.
