Notes

The body excerpt mentions a gluten-free option using 1 cup of gluten-free flour mix and guar gum, but the authoritative structured ingredient list and instructions specify the traditional all-purpose flour version. The structured data states a yield of 14, while the description mentions 28 biscuits; the structured yield is used here.
