Every bite of these flaky biscuits get a little kick from cayenne pepper and sharp cheddar cheese. They're a nice accompaniment to soup and stew. Kimberley Nuttall, San Marco, California Ingredients:

4 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/2 cup cold butter. cubed |
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cheese and toss. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened.
