Yes, you can use yeast instead of baking powder for biscuits, but the texture and flavor will differ. Yeast requires time to rise, so the biscuits will have a denser, bread-like quality and will take longer to prepare. Baking powder provides a quick leavening effect, resulting in lighter, flakier biscuits. If you choose to use yeast, allow the dough to rise before baking for optimal results.
