How to Make Red Chili Biscuits

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon chili powder.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for about 15 turns.
  6. Roll the dough to ¾ inch thickness.
  7. Use a 3 ½ inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Reroll scraps and cut out more biscuits until all dough is used.
  8. Place biscuits onto a greased baking sheet.
  9. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
