Equipment

Baking Sheet

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour *see notes for all-purpose flour*
1 cup milk (2% or whole milk work best)
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup cheddar cheese, grated (I use sharp cheddar)
2 Tbsp jalapeno pepper, membranes and seeds removed, minced
1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400º Farenheit.
Mix all ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Stir until there are no large clumps of flour visible.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking sheet, parchment paper, or spray with cooking oil. Scoop biscuit dough with an ice cream scoop or large tablespoon. Leave at least 2" space between biscuits.
Bake for 15 minutes, until biscuits are golden in color and lightly browned on the bottom. Serve warm (or reheated).

Notes

To use all-purpose flour in place of self-rising flour, mix together:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp fine salt.
