Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of cheeses such as mozzarella or pepper jack in addition to the cheddar. If you prefer a lighter version, substitute the butter with olive oil. To enhance the garlic flavor, add an extra clove or use roasted garlic. Make sure not to overmix the dough to keep the biscuits fluffy and tender.
