Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Whole wheat flour
Forms the dough's structure, giving the biscuits their body once kneaded and baked.
Nutritional yeast
Adds a savory, cheesy-nutty flavor to the biscuits.
Garlic powder
Adds a pungent, savory aroma and flavor to the dough.

The step that matters

Drying in the oven after baking. Baked biscuits are still soft inside. Leaving them in the oven after it is turned off lets residual heat slowly remove moisture, which is what makes them hard and crunchy. Taking them out too early leaves them soft.

Swap the garlic
