Jalapeño Cheese Biscuits

Preheat the oven to 375˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into ½-inch pieces. Using your fingertips, rub the butter and flour mixture together until it resembles a course meal; add the jalapeños and cheese. Add the cream and mix with your hands. When barely combined, turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead just enough to bring the dough together. Roll out to a 1-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 1½- to 2-inch cutter. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the center of the oven for 10-12 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve warm.
