Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the dough. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter works perfectly as a substitute. You can also experiment with different cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack for a twist. Ensure your dough isn’t overmixed to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat Bisquick for this recipe?
Yes, you can use whole wheat Bisquick, but the texture may change slightly, resulting in denser biscuits. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a bit more milk to the dough to achieve the desired consistency.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a little extra Bisquick mix onto your hands and the surface while shaping the biscuits. Alternatively, let the dough rest for a few minutes, which can help it firm up.
How can I make these biscuits gluten-free?
To make gluten-free cheese-garlic biscuits, substitute the Bisquick mix with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that the blend contains a binding agent like xanthan gum, or add a small amount to help mimic the texture of the original recipe.
