5 spicy bacon biscuits Recipes

all-purpose flour (i like king arthur s unbleached ap flour), baking powder, cayenne powder (don tsp be alarmed...being a heat fiend, i used 3 tsp. and they were only slightly spicy - plus it adds such a pretty color. i m thinking a good smoky spanish paprika would be a great, and less hot, substitute), salt, shredded cheese (i used fine shredded sharp cheddar tonight), chilled shortening, cubed, unsalted butter, cubed, note: i like using a 50%-50% mix of shortening and butter - shortening for the tender crumb and butter for added taste., cut bacon, diced, buttermilk, minced chives (scallions would work here, too)
