How to Make Spicy Biscuits and Gravy

Making Spicy Biscuits and Gravy is easy, and it only requires a few simple ingredients. Here is my step-by-step recipe:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
3. Cut in 6 tablespoons of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in 3/4 cup of buttermilk until the dough comes together.
