Sweet smoked paprika is also known as Pimentòn de la Vera. If you prefer foods less spicy, omit it from the biscuit tops.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and paprika. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with a few larger clumps remaining. Stir in the cheese with a fork.
Step 2
Add the cream; using a rubber spatula, stir until the dough just comes together. The dough will be slightly sticky; do not overmix. Using a 1/2-cup measure, scoop mounds of dough about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly dust with paprika. Bake, rotating the sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Slide parchment and biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
