  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F and position the rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add the butter pieced and mix until blended or mix with a fork so that the dough is somewhat crumbly.
  3. Stir in the cheese, jalapeno, and milk, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and form a dough circle about ½-inch thick. If the dough is still crumbly, add another tablespoon of milk. With a long knife cut the dough into 12 wedges.
  5. Place the wedges in a circle in a lightly greased 12-inch cast-iron skillet, leaving some space in between.
  6. Brush with the beaten egg and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
