Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Gently fold in the diced jalapenos.
  5. Scoop rounded portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them two inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly browned; cool on the pan for 3-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
