WOW! These little slabs were incredible! All three of us loved them--even my 5yo DS! The jalapeno I used was not very hot, so the final product wasn't all that hot--but it was chock-full of fabulous flavor! It wasn't much more difficult to make than biscuits, although I did have a bit of trouble working the cheese mixture into the dough (it kneaded in pretty nicely, though). The three of us ate about half the batch--we just couldn't stop! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe, Baby Kato--DH has already told me this will be a frequent request! Made for Market tag game.

Yummy, quick and relatively easy. Even a beginner could make these. We loved them and used some of them under sausage gravy. I'll be making these again! Thanks, Baby Kato! Made for Pick a Chef Spring 2009.

These are very tasty. Loved the addition of the jalapeno peppers. Made this in the KA and that worked well. Will be making these again. Thanks BK Made for Zaar Stars.
