FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute cheddar with other cheeses like mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles. Just make sure the cheese is shredded for easy mixing.

Can I make these biscuits gluten-free?

To make gluten-free biscuits, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking flour blend that includes xanthan gum. The texture may vary slightly but will still be delicious.
