Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try adding some chopped jalapeños or swapping out the cheddar for mozzarella cheese. If you don't have bisquick, you can make your own biscuit mix by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. Make sure your butter is melted but not too hot, as it can affect the dough's texture. These biscuits are inspired by classic American recipes, making them a crowd-pleaser.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pepperoni biscuits warm as a snack or appetizer. They pair well with marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh salad on the side. Consider serving them alongside dishes like Florentine Turkey Noodle Casserole or Texas Rotel for a hearty meal that everyone will love.
Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use turkey pepperoni instead of regular pepperoni?
Yes, turkey pepperoni works well as a healthier alternative, offering a similar flavor and texture. It may be slightly less greasy, which can result in a lighter biscuit, making it a great option for those looking to reduce fat intake without sacrificing taste.
What can I substitute for milk in this recipe?
You can use any non-dairy milk like almond, soy, or oat milk as a substitute. For a creamier texture, try using buttermilk or yogurt thinned with a bit of water. Each option will slightly change the flavor, but they all work well in this recipe.
Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuits before or after baking. If freezing before baking, drop the dough onto a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time. If already baked, reheat directly from the freezer.
