1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped, plus 1, cut into rings and seeded, divided
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the creamed corn and melted butter and mix until fully combined. Fold in 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and the finely chopped jalapeño until evenly distributed. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a 2-ounce (¼ cup) scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Top each biscuit with 1 heaping tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 jalapeño ring.
Bake the biscuits for 18–20 minutes, until the cheese on top is golden brown.
