I recently used smoked paprika in another recipe. That spice would add a nice smokiness to the biscuits.

Those sound good, Roxy! A little different!

I'd like the smoked paprika, too, SierraCook. Or you could use hot paprika, for your chili-head friends!

I read somewhere that you should not turn the biscuit cutter when you are cutting the dough. It is supposed to keep the biscuits from rising. Anyone else know about this?

I hear that as well Lynda, wonder about it. Will have to remember it when I make some biscuits.
