Moist, flaky, buttery and salty. These biscuits will make you happy, happy, happy! I like to serve these biscuits with fried chicken, but they make great sandwich bread for anything from a fried egg sandwich to a pastrami sandwich.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place 2 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in a bowl and cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until the butter is the size of peas.
- Combine the buttermilk and egg in a small measuring cup and beat lightly with a fork. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix only until moistened. Fold the cheese and jalapeno pepper into the dough. Mix only until roughly combined. Dump out onto a well-floured board and knead lightly about 6 times. Roll the dough out to about an inch thick. With a 3 to 4 inch round cookie cutter, cut the dough. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with salt.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the biscuits are cooked through. Serve hot or warm.
Recipe Notes
Add crumbled bacon to dough for a smoky flavor. Biscuits can be used with fried chicken, for breakfast with sausage gravy, or you can make great sandwiches with them by filling them with your favorite lunch meat. © Galley Chef All Rights Reserved
