FAQs

Can I use margarine instead of butter for the topping?

Yes, use whatever you have on hand. And use the ingredients that you prefer.

How can I store leftover buttered-top biscuits?

"Why I Don't Preheat My Oven Before Cooking" In this article, I aim to shed light on my unconventional approach to cooking by explaining the reasons behind why I choose not to preheat my oven.
