Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh jalapeños (seeds removed for milder flavor)

3/4 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk mixed with a splash of vinegar)

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a subtle sweetness)

Additional shredded cheddar and sliced jalapeños for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a whisk to blend them thoroughly, ensuring an even distribution of the leavening agents.

      Cut in the Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. With a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, with small lumps of butter visible for a flaky texture.

        Incorporate Cheese and Jalapeños: Gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and finely chopped jalapeños. Mix until they are evenly combined within the flour mixture, providing bursts of flavor in every biscuit.

          Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey (if you choose to use it) until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Honey adds a delightful hint of sweetness to balance the spice.

            Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. With a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the dough should retain a slightly sticky consistency.

              Shape the Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter or a drinking glass, cut out the biscuits and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, reshape, and cut out additional biscuits.

                Top with Cheese and Jalapeños: If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar cheese atop each biscuit and add a thin slice of jalapeño for enhanced flavor and appealing presentation.

                  Bake the Biscuits: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the surface and cooked through.

                    Cool Down: Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes before serving.

                      Serve and Enjoy: These scrumptious biscuits are best enjoyed warm. Serve them on their own, spread with butter, or alongside your favorite breakfast dishes such as eggs and bacon.
