    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2 1/4           cups  all-purpose flour
    2        tablespoons  sugar
       1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
       1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
       1/2    tablespoon  kosher salt
    1              stick  cold unsalted butter -- cubed
    1                cup  cold whole milk
    1                cup  shredded aged cheddar cheese
       1/4           cup  finely chopped pickled jalapenos
    1              large  egg -- lightly beaten

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  In a lg bowl, whisk the 
flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Scatter 
the cubed butter over the dry ingredients and using your fingers 
pinch the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles very 
coarse crumbs, with some of the butter the size of small 
peas.  Gently stir in the milk, cheddar and jalapenos just until a 
shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead 
gently just until it comes together.  Pat the dough out to a 1/2" 
thick rectangle.  Using a 3" round biscuit cutter, stamp out 10-12 
biscuits.  Gently press the scraps together on the prepared baking 
sheet and freeze for 30 min.

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Brush the biscuits with the beaten egg and 
bake until golden brown about 15 min.  Serve hot or warm.

Make Ahead:  The unbaked biscuits can be transferred to a sturdy 
plastic bag and frozen for up to 1 week.
