Always a blast to make these! Leaves my house smelling so good!

Servings: 12

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped jalapeño peppers
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk

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

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped jalapeños.

5. Mix in the sour cream and milk until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

6. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently just to bring it together.

7. Roll out the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness, and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.

8. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
