Steps:
- Make the chili: In a large pot over medium heat, combine the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer. Add the salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cayenne, and kidney beans. Stir to combine, then simmer for 40-45 minutes, until the chili has thickened. Remove the pot from the heat and let the chili cool completely.
- Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, cornmeal, and salt.
- Add the butter and press into the dry ingredients with your fingertips until the flour resembles coarse sand.
- Add the buttermilk and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour. Turn the dough out and fold in half, then the dough into a circle and roll out with a rolling pin to about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick.
- Using a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter, portion the dough into 12 rounds. Re-roll dough and cut more circles as needed.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cooled chili into the center of a round of dough and carefully pinch the edges together around the chili to seal. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the filled biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Save the remaining chili for another use.
- Make the chili butter: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, salt, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne. Microwave in 30-second intervals until the butter is completely melted.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits generously with the chili butter. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake the biscuits for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Garnish the biscuits with the scallions and serve with sour cream alongside.
- Enjoy!
