FAQs

1. Can I use pre-made biscuit dough?

Yes! You can use store-bought biscuit dough and simply add the garlic butter topping for a quick version.

Sharp cheddar cheese is ideal, but you can experiment with Monterey Jack or a cheese blend.

3. Can I freeze these biscuits?

Yes! Freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.

4. Can I use garlic salt instead of garlic powder?

You can, but reduce the added salt in the recipe to avoid it being too salty.

5. How do I make these biscuits fluffier?

Make sure not to overmix the dough and use fresh baking powder for the best rise.

6. Can I make this recipe without butter?

You can substitute butter with margarine or a neutral oil, but the flavor will be slightly different.

7. Do I have to use fresh parsley?

No, dried parsley works just fine in the garlic butter topping.

Yes, use dairy-free cheese, plant-based butter, and almond or oat milk.

They pair well with seafood dishes, soups, chowders, or even as a snack with butter.

10. Can I use self-rising flour instead of all-purpose flour?
