# What You'll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
06 - 1 1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika
07 - 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
08 - 1 cup crushed Flamin Hot corn chips, plus extra for topping
→ Wet Ingredients
09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
10 - 1 cup buttermilk, cold
→ Cheese & Add-ins
11 - 1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
12 - 2 scallions, finely sliced
13 - 1 jalapeño, deseeded and finely diced (optional)
→ For Assembly
14 - 8 wooden or metal skewers (8 to 10 inches long)
15 - 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing
16 - Extra crushed Flamin Hot corn chips, for garnish
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and 1 cup crushed Flamin Hot corn chips.
03 - Add cold, cubed butter to the bowl. Using a pastry blender or fork, work butter into flour mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
04 - Mix in shredded cheddar cheese, sliced scallions, and diced jalapeño if using.
05 - Pour in cold buttermilk and gently stir just until the mixture is combined; avoid overmixing.
06 - Divide dough into 8 equal portions. With floured hands, shape each into a 2-inch ball and flatten gently into a disk.
07 - Carefully thread each biscuit disk onto a skewer, pressing to secure. Leave space between disks if placing multiple per skewer, or place one large disk on each.
08 - Place skewers on prepared baking sheet. Brush each biscuit with melted butter and sprinkle extra crushed Flamin Hot chips on top.
09 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until biscuits are golden and cheese is bubbling.
10 - Let skewers cool slightly before serving warm.
