Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of refrigerated ones?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just ensure to thaw them according to package instructions before proceeding with the recipe. This will help them bake evenly and achieve a nice golden brown on top.
What can I do if I don't have cinnamon?
If you don't have cinnamon, you can substitute it with an equal amount of pumpkin pie spice or simply omit it for a different flavor profile. The streusel will still be delicious without the spice, allowing the sweetness of the sugar and margarine to shine through.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the margarine with a plant-based butter alternative and ensure the biscuits are vegan-friendly. Many refrigerated biscuit brands offer vegan options, so be sure to check the labels for dairy-free ingredients.
