Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can substitute half of the corn flake cereal with crushed nuts for added texture. If you're out of biscuit baking mix, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure not to overwork the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
