Getting the fluffy texture
The fluffy, airy texture of these garlic cheese biscuits is achieved by a few steps. Use cold butter. It will create pockets in the dough as they bake. Fold the dough to create layers.
Don’t have buttermilk?
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand or don’t want to buy it, we offer a simple substitution. Use this option when your recipes call for buttermilk: Combine 1 cup milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Allow this mixture to sit for 3-5 minutes before adding it to the recipe.
