2 cups instant corn flour
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 cup shortening
juice from 1/2 a lime
1/2 cup of Cotija cheese, finely grated (You can use a different cheese if you wish.)
1 tbsp chopped chives
2/3-1 cup milk
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and chili powder in a large bowl. Cut in the shortening. Add the lime juice, cheese and chives. Add 2/3 cup milk and stir. Add more milk, a bit at a time until you can form a ball (You will need to get your hands into it a bit.).
Form 12 evenly sized balls with the dough. Flatten and shape to look biscuit-ish. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for about 10 minutes. Serve warm.
