Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, mix the biscuit dough just until combined; overmixing can lead to dense biscuits. You can substitute half of the water with milk for a richer flavor. If you prefer whole grain, swap some of the biscuit mix for whole wheat flour. To enhance flavor, consider adding herbs or cheese to the mix before baking.
