Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuit balls and coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture a day in advance. Store them in the refrigerator, covered, and bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

You can substitute oleo with unsalted butter or a plant-based margarine for a vegan option. Both will work well, though keep in mind that the flavor may vary slightly depending on the choice.
