Author Notes
The original recipe was sweeter, and was served for brunch. I've made a twist on this by reducing the sugar and adding jalapeno and two different cheeses.

Ingredients
-
2 cups
all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon
sugar
-
2 teaspoons
baking powder
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
2
jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
-
1/3 cup
Pecorino cheese, shredded
-
1/2 cup
sharp cheddar, shredded, plus more for on top
-
1
egg
-
1/2 cup
whole milk
-
1/3 cup
chilled butter
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix the dry ingredients then add the pecorino, 1/2 cup cheddar and diced peppers.
-
Mix the egg and milk together and set aside.
-
Shred the chilled butter, this works best if you freeze the butter stick, or cut it into 1/2 " cubes. Work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter until it becomes crumbly.
-
Add the milk and egg. Do not over mix the dough. Turn the dough out on to a floured surface. Knead the dough ten times. Form the dough into a disc about 1" thick.
-
Using a floured knife, cut the disc into eight triangles. Dust off any excess flour. Transfer the triangles to the baking sheet and top with more cheddar cheese.
-
Bake for 15 minutes.
