Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding vanilla extract to the cream cheese before placing it on the biscuits. If you don't have Butter-Me-Not biscuits, any flaky biscuit dough can work as a substitute. Be sure to keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens can vary; the coffeecake should be golden brown on top when done.
