Serving: 8 | Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 35 minutes

• Garlic powder – ½ tsp
• Chopped fresh cilantro – 2 tbsp (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan or line with parchment.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
3. Cut in 4 tbsp cold butter using a pastry blender or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in 1 ½ cups cheddar and minced chipotle until evenly distributed.
5. Add buttermilk and mix just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix—lumps are fine.
6. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 3-4 times until it comes together. Pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
7. Cut dough into 1-inch pieces using a bench scraper or knife. Roll each piece into a ball.
8. In a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tbsp melted butter with smoked paprika. Dip each dough ball into the spiced butter, then place in prepared bundt pan.
