Ingredients (serves 6):

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeños
- 3/4 cup buttermilk

Cooking Tips:

- Use cold butter and buttermilk to ensure flaky biscuits.
- Don't overwork the dough, as it can make the biscuits tough.
- Use a biscuit cutter to get even-sized biscuits.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the chilled butter to the bowl and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños.
5. Add the buttermilk to the bowl and stir until the dough comes together.
6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together.
7. Roll the dough out to a thickness of about 1 inch and use a biscuit cutter to cut out the biscuits.
8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
9. Serve the Jalapeño Cheddar Biscuits warm with butter or your favorite spread.
