Instructions
- Make Dough:

- Finish and Serve:
- Brush the garlic butter mixture over the hot biscuits immediately after they come out of the oven.
- Serve warm alongside seafood dishes or enjoy as a snack.
Tips for Success
- Cheese Choice: Use sharp cheddar for a bold flavor, or experiment with other cheeses like Gruyère or Parmesan.
- Consistent Sizes: Use an ice cream scoop to ensure evenly sized biscuits for consistent cooking.
- Fresh Buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 cup of milk with 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute.
Wine, Cocktail, Drink Pairing
- Pair these savory biscuits with a crisp Chardonnay or a refreshing lemonade spritzer for the perfect complement to their cheesy, garlicky flavor.
