Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Finely chop 1 to 2 tablespoons of jalapeno, depending on your preference. Slice the rest of the jalapeno so that you have at least 24 slices. Set this aside.
1 to 2 jalapenos (chopped)
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper, if you're using it.
4 cup self-rising flour, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, and eggs. Add this to the dry mixture and give it a few folds. Add 1 cup of the cheddar cheese and as much of the finely chopped jalapeno as you would like to use. Fold gently to combine.
¾ cup buttermilk, ½ cup neutral oil, 2 egg, 1 ¼ cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Drop the dough into 12 mounds on the preapred tray. Place two jalapeno slices on each biscuit, pressing into adhere. Distribute the remaining ¼ cup cheese among the tops of the biscuits.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Serve warm.

Notes

The biscuits can be frozen unbaked. Once you’ve topped the biscuits with jalapeño and cheese, press the toppings into the batter to adhere better. Place the tray in the freezer until the biscuits are frozen solid. Once firm, remove them from the tray and store in a ziptop freezer bag or airtight container in the freezer.

Be sure to label the container with the date, recipe name, and baking instructions.

To bake from frozen: simply preheat the oven as directed and bake, adding 1 to 2 minutes if necessary to allot for the cold biscuits.

Baked biscuits can be frozen once cooled. Store in an airtight container or ziptop freezer bag in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
