- There is no substitute for the baking powder.
- The sugar does not add sweetness to the biscuits.
- There is no substitute for the seasonings.
- Use xanthan gum or try a replacement for the xanthan gum.

- Country Crock or Earth Balance vegan butter work equally well in this recipe.
- Violife shredded cheese is recommended.
- Placing the biscuits in the refrigerator before baking helps the biscuits bake up nice and tall rather than flattening with the warm butter and cheese.
