14 - 1 tablespoon bourbon

# Method Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
03 - Add cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
04 - Fold shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the butter-flour mixture.
05 - In a separate bowl, whisk together whole milk and egg until smooth. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Divide the biscuit dough evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
07 - Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together in a shallow bowl for coating.
08 - In a small saucepan, melt unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in maple syrup and bourbon, then remove from heat.
09 - Brush warm muffin tops with maple bourbon butter using a pastry brush. Immediately roll or sprinkle each with cinnamon sugar to ensure an even coating.
10 - Once muffins are cool enough to handle, slice each horizontally in half. Thread two to three muffin halves onto each water-soaked wooden skewer, gently pressing to secure.
11 - Drizzle skewers with any remaining maple bourbon butter before serving, if desired.
