Adjust the garlic according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. This helps retain their texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking. Just be sure to let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before dropping spoonfuls onto the baking sheet for even baking.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with almond milk, soy milk, or any other non-dairy milk. Coconut milk will also add a unique flavor that complements the cheese nicely.
How can I adjust the recipe for more servings?
To make more biscuits, simply double or triple the ingredients while keeping the same ratios. Make sure to use multiple baking sheets if needed, and monitor the baking time as larger batches may require a few extra minutes in the oven.
