Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful twist, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the dough. If you don't have biscuit mix, you can make your own by combining flour, baking powder, and salt. Ensure the skewer is sturdy enough to hold the dough while cooking. If outdoors, use a campfire with manageable heat to avoid burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these delicious biscuit twists alongside a warm drink, such as hot cocoa or a spiced cider, for a cozy treat. They also pair beautifully with butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top. For a fun twist, try dipping them in chocolate or serve with a fruit jam.
