Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a sprinkle of cheese to the dough.

Keep an eye on the biscuits while baking, as oven temperatures can vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Just remember to let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before dropping onto the baking sheet to ensure even baking.
What can I use instead of French onion dip?
If you don't have French onion dip, you can create a similar flavor by mixing sour cream with onion powder, garlic powder, and a little salt. This homemade substitute will still give your biscuits that delicious onion flavor.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
The biscuits are done when they are lightly browned on top and firm to the touch. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the biscuits are ready to be enjoyed.
