Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease an 8x8 baking pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut butter into crumbly. Add buttermilk to flour mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn dough onto a floured surface and very gently knead several times until dough just comes together. Pat dough out to 1-in thickness and use a 2-in biscuit cutter to cut biscuits out (you should have 6)
Arrange biscuits in prepared pan. Stuff cheddar cheese between biscuits, sprinkling any remaining on top of biscuits. Chill biscuits in fridge 10 minutes.
Bake biscuits at 400F 30-35 minutes until biscuits are golden brown. Set aside for a moment while you prepare the jalapeno butter.
Jalapeno Butter
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add jalapeno and sauté several minutes until jalapeno is softened. Remove from heat and stir in garlic powder.
Brush jalapeno butter over warm biscuits. Pull biscuits apart to serve warm. Enjoy!
