  1. what is buttermilk ranch dip? I live in Canada (Ontario) and I don’t think we have this in our stores. what can I sub???

    1. Since the base of ranch dip is sour cream, you can use the same amount of full fat sour cream. However, you will need to add dry Ranch seasoning if you have that available in your market to make these biscuits.
