Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just make sure to thaw them before cutting into quarters. You may need to adjust the baking time slightly; keep an eye on them to ensure they bake evenly.
What can I substitute for garlic in this recipe?
If you're looking for a garlic substitute, try using garlic powder or minced shallots. Alternatively, you can omit it entirely for a milder flavor, or replace it with roasted garlic for a sweeter, more subtle taste.
How can I make these biscuits healthier?
To make this recipe healthier, consider using whole wheat refrigerator biscuits and substituting olive oil for butter. You can also reduce the amount of sesame seeds or use an alternative topping like chopped fresh herbs to enhance flavor without adding fat.
