Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, try adding a splash of orange juice to the butter before dipping the biscuits for extra flavor. If you don’t have orange marmalade, peach or apricot preserves can work as a substitute. To save time, consider using pre-made caramel sauce in place of the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, though it will alter the texture.
