**Red Chili Biscuits**
**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon red chili flakes
– ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
– ¾ cup milk
– Optional: additional red chili flakes for topping
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and red chili flakes until well combined.
3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs and there are no large chunks of butter remaining.
4. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough biscuits.
5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
6. Use a biscuit cutter or a sharp knife to cut out rounds or squares from the dough. Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
7. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of red chili flakes on top of each biscuit for an extra pop of color and flavor.
8. Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
9. Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy these Red Chili Biscuits warm for the best flavor and texture!
