Instructions
Making the Biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for just a few seconds, until it comes together.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut out biscuits using a 2-inch biscuit cutter.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
Making the Gravy:
- While the biscuits are baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens.
- Season with salt and RA Seasonings Spicy
- Stir in the cheese, if desired, until melted.
Serving:
Serve the biscuits hot with a generous helping of spicy gravy. You can also add your favorite breakfast toppings, such as scrambled eggs, bacon, or sausage. Enjoy!
Tips for the Perfect Spicy Biscuits and Gravy:
- Don't overwork the biscuit dough, or the biscuits will be tough.
- For extra-flaky biscuits, use cold ingredients and avoid over-mixing the dough.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spiciness.
- If you want a thicker gravy, cook it for a few minutes longer.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses in the gravy, such as Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or even goat cheese.
