Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?

Absolutely! If you have a favorite biscuit recipe, feel free to make your own. Just ensure they are similar in size and texture to the refrigerated biscuits for even baking. Homemade biscuits might add a personal touch and enhance the flavor.

What can I do if I don't have walnuts?

If walnuts aren't available, you can substitute them with any chopped nuts you prefer, such as pecans, almonds, or even hazelnuts. Alternatively, you can skip the nuts entirely for a nut-free version, which is perfect for those with allergies.

How do I know when the coffeecake is done baking?

The coffeecake is done when it turns golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking, as ovens can vary, and you want to avoid overbaking.
