Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Rub the cold butter into the flour with your fingers until coarse crumbs form. A fork or pastry cutter also works, but don't let the butter soften.
3. Stir in the chiles, scallions, garlic powder, sugar, baking powder, black pepper and salt until evenly coated in flour.
4. Gently fold in the buttermilk with a spatula until most of the flour is moistened, without overmixing. Fold in the cheese a few times; the dough will look clumpy.
5. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and press it into a 2–3 inch thick rectangle. Cut it lengthwise in half, stack the halves, and flatten again to about 2 inches thick.
6. Halve, stack and flatten again, repeating 2 or 3 times, until you have several layers of toppings and butter.
7. Cut the stack crosswise into 8 equal pieces and arrange them on the lined baking sheet.
8. Whisk the egg with the warm water, brush it over the biscuits, then sprinkle with flaky sea salt and top each with a jalapeño slice if using.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until golden and flaky.
