These biscuits are flaky, buttery, crispy on the edges and packed with so much flavor, the nuttiness from the sharp yellow cheddar cheese and heat from jalapenos makes these the biscuits I’ve ever had! These biscuits are egg less, and can be made dairy free/vegan but sub the heavy whipping cream, butter. I used silk dairy free heavy whipping cream and these biscuits came out great! You can switch up the jalapenos for serranos for extra heat and switch up the cheddar cheese for white cheddar cheese or even pepper jack or habanero cheese.
I served these biscuits with a mixture of butter and mikes hot honey and it was BOMB, try the combo if you haven’t, also you can chop up some scallions and mix it with some cream cheese to spread on the biscuit as well. Of course you can jam, jelly’s and even make a breakfast sandwich out of it, or just eat them as is :).
