In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.

Add Milk
Pour in the milk gradually, mixing with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.

Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Be careful not to overwork the dough.

Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapenos, and softened cream cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion out into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Add Filling
Place a generous spoonful of the cheese and jalapeno filling in the center of each rolled-out dough circle.

Seal the Dough
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with your fingers to seal, then crimp with a fork for extra security.
