Notes
For an extra cheesy flavor, add more cheddar, or mix in different cheeses like pepper jack. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the biscuits light and fluffy. Brush the tops with garlic butter just before serving for an added burst of flavor. Use fresh herbs like chives or scallions for a unique twist. Experiment with different spices to create your perfect combination.
