Cook techniques
Preparation of Biscuit Dough
To create a light and fluffy texture, gently handle the biscuit dough. Avoid over-kneading to ensure the biscuits rise properly during baking.
Seasoning the Garlic Butter
Melt butter slowly and mix in minced garlic. This allows the garlic to infuse its flavor into the butter, enhancing the richness and aroma of the dish.
Stuffing the Biscuits
Carefully create a pocket in each biscuit dough ball before adding cheese. Ensure that the cheese is fully enclosed to prevent leakage during baking.
Baking Techniques
Preheat the oven adequately and ensure even spacing between the biscuit bombs on the baking sheet. This promotes even cooking and browning.
