# Method Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 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 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
03 - Add cold cubed butter and blend with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture takes on a coarse crumb texture.
04 - Incorporate shredded sharp cheddar cheese into the flour mixture and stir to distribute evenly.
05 - Whisk whole milk and egg together in a separate bowl. Pour into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, careful not to overmix.
06 - Divide dough evenly into prepared muffin cups. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until muffins are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
07 - In a shallow bowl, thoroughly combine granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
08 - In a small saucepan over low heat, melt unsalted butter. Stir in maple syrup and bourbon, then remove from heat.
09 - While muffins are still warm, brush them generously with maple bourbon butter using a pastry brush. Immediately coat with cinnamon sugar mixture.
10 - After cooling, slice each muffin horizontally. Thread 2 to 3 halves onto each wooden skewer, pressing gently for stability.
11 - Drizzle skewers with any remaining maple bourbon butter before serving, if desired.
