Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of onion powder or using low-fat mozzarella cheese instead of cheddar. If you prefer a gluten-free version, substitute the reduced fat biscuit mix with a gluten-free blend. Make sure not to overmix the dough to maintain the flakiness of the biscuits, similar to the texture found in American recipes.
