  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick) cubed
  • 7 ounces can diced green chiles (1 can) drained

sausage country gravy

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.

  • Using a pastry cutter, two knives or your fingers cut butter into the flour mixture until a coarse mealy texture has been achieved.
  • Fold in the chiles and cheddar.
