Tips from My Kitchen

Temperature Matters: Use room temperature eggs for fluffier biscuits. It really does make a difference!
Add Your Twist: Don’t hesitate to experiment with the mix-ins. Leftover veggies or meats can find new life in these biscuits.
Watch the Time: Keep an eye on the biscuits near the end of the baking time. Everyone’s oven is different, and you want them perfectly golden.
Yield Variations: Feel free to double the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd or want plenty for meal prep — these biscuits freeze beautifully!
Herb Infusion: Switching up the herbs and spices can lead to exciting new flavors. Try fresh dill or oregano for a tasty twist.

Creative Twists to Try

Why not play around with flavors and textures? Consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper for extra heat, or swapping out the cheddar for goat cheese for a tangy twist. If you’re feeling adventurous, adding chopped nuts or seeds into the dough can provide an enjoyable crunch and another dose of healthy fats.
