If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a homemade baking mix by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. These biscuits are also similar to Super Biscuits, providing a delightful texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of jam instead of orange marmalade?
Absolutely! You can substitute orange marmalade with any fruit jam or jelly that you prefer, such as raspberry or apricot. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still yield delicious results.
Is it possible to make these biscuits gluten-free?
Yes, you can use a gluten-free baking mix in place of Bisquick. Look for a blend that includes baking powder and salt for the best results. Just ensure that any other ingredients used are also gluten-free to maintain the integrity of the recipe.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
For added flavor, mix in some grated lemon or orange zest into the dough. You can also experiment with spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract. Adding a bit of shredded coconut can create a tropical twist that complements the marmalade beautifully.
