For a richer flavor, use buttermilk instead of milk. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your spice preference. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. These muffins are best served warm. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For an extra cheesy crust, sprinkle a little extra shredded cheddar on top of the muffins before baking.
