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 less heat)

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

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

Extra shredded cheddar and jalapeño slices for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly distributed.

      Cut in Butter: Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

        Add Cheese and Jalapeños: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and honey (if using) until well combined.

            Mix Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; the dough should be slightly sticky.

              Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Using a floured biscuit cutter or glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather any scraps, re-pat, and cut out more biscuits.

                Top with Cheese & Jalapeños: If desired, sprinkle extra shredded cheddar on top of each biscuit and place a slice of jalapeño for added flavor and presentation.

                  Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on the top and cooked through.

                    Cool Down: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

                      Serve and Enjoy: These biscuits are best served warm, either on their own or with butter or your favorite breakfast dishes like eggs and bacon.
