Tips & Substitutions

You can also use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier twist. These knots are similar in texture to Aunt Sis' Sugar Cookies, making them a delightful treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these buttery knots warm as a delightful appetizer or snack. They pair beautifully with soups or salads, making them a great side dish for a cozy meal. For a fun twist, try serving them with a creamy dip or alongside a bowl of Chunky Puppy Chow for a unique snack spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour instead of Bisquick?
Whole wheat flour can be used, but you will need to add baking powder and salt to mimic the leavening and flavor of Bisquick. Start with a cup and adjust the liquid ingredients accordingly, as whole wheat may absorb more moisture.
What can I add to make these knots cheesy?
To make these knots cheesy, simply mix in shredded cheese like cheddar or mozzarella into the dough before baking. You can also sprinkle cheese on top before baking for a deliciously cheesy crust.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just allow it to come to room temperature before baking. Alternatively, you can bake them and store them, reheating them when ready to serve.
