Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

⅓ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup canned chili (meat or vegetarian, according to preference)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing)

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a baking sheet by either greasing it lightly with olive oil or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Use a whisk to ensure that all ingredients are evenly combined.

      Incorporate Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. With a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the flour until the texture resembles coarse crumbs—this will ensure a flaky biscuit.

        Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture to create that delicious cheesy flavor in every bite.

          Mix in Buttermilk: Slowly pour in the buttermilk. Use a spatula to stir the mixture just until combined. Take care not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

            Shape the Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. With your hands, gently knead the dough just a couple of times to bring it together, then roll it out to about 1-inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits from the dough.

              Bake the Biscuits: Arrange the cut biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they slightly touch for soft edges. Bake them in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.

                Heat the Chili: While the biscuits are baking, pour the canned chili into a small saucepan. Heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a warm and comforting temperature.

                  Assemble the Delight: Remove the freshly baked biscuits from the oven. Carefully slice each biscuit in half horizontally. Spoon a generous amount of chili onto the bottom half of each biscuit, then top it with the other half.

                    Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the assembled biscuits with finely chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on the side for added creaminess, if desired.

                      Enjoy: Delight in the heartwarming combination of cheesy, spicy chili nestled between buttery biscuits. Serve hot and enjoy every delicious bite!
