Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using sharp Cheddar cheese. If you don’t have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley can enhance the taste, making these biscuits a great addition to any meal. These biscuits can also be made ahead of time and frozen before baking.

These Garlic-Cheddar Biscuits are perfect alongside soups like creamy tomato or as a side for a hearty salad. They pair beautifully with Superb Breakfast Muffins for a delightful brunch spread. Consider serving them warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey for added flavor, making them a versatile accompaniment to any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. For longer storage, freeze the biscuits in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can use regular milk, but for a more traditional flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to the milk and letting it sit for about 5 minutes to mimic buttermilk.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough and refrigerate it for up to 1 day before baking. Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. When ready to bake, drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet and bake as directed.
What can I use instead of garlic powder?
If you prefer fresh garlic, you can use 1 clove of minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Just mix it with the butter or margarine for brushing. This will give a more pronounced garlic flavor to the biscuits.
