Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade biscuits instead of refrigerator biscuits?
Yes, you can absolutely use homemade biscuits! Just ensure they are similar in size to the refrigerator biscuits so they bake evenly. Adjust the baking time if necessary, as homemade biscuits may require different cooking times.
What can I use instead of pancake syrup?
If you don't have pancake syrup, you can substitute it with honey or maple syrup for a different flavor profile. Both options will add a lovely sweetness and richness to the dish.
Can I make these Sticky Bunns ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sticky mixture and place the biscuits in the pan the night before. Cover and refrigerate, then bake in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast treat. Just allow extra time for baking if they are cold from the fridge.
