Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley or chives to the dough. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make a substitute using flour, baking powder, and salt. For a cheesy twist, try substituting the Cheddar with Gruyère or Monterey Jack. If you want to kick up the garlic flavor, add a bit more garlic powder or a minced clove.
Serving Suggestions
These biscuits are perfect as a side for soups or salads, particularly a hearty tomato basil soup. They also pair beautifully with a plate of shrimp and grits. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside grilled chicken or a fresh garden salad. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 15-20 seconds, but they may lose some of their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze these cheese garlic biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the biscuits before baking them. Just shape the dough and place them on a baking sheet, then freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
What can I use instead of butter?
If you're looking for a substitute for butter, you can use margarine or a plant-based butter alternative. For a healthier option, unsweetened applesauce can also work, but it will alter the flavor and texture slightly.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding spices like paprika or Italian seasoning to the dough. Mixing in some cooked and crumbled bacon or green onions can also add a delicious twist. For a cheesy variation, experiment with different types of cheese.
