Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute margarine with butter in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute margarine with unsalted butter in an equal amount. Just make sure to melt the butter and let it cool before adding it to the mixture, just as you would with the margarine.

How should I store the leftover lemon biscuits?

You can store the leftover lemon biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn.

What can I do if my cookie dough is too dry?

If your dough feels too dry, you can add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. Be careful not to add too much at once, as this can make the dough too wet.

Not sure, but if that happens, add a little milk or water to it until you have the right consistency.

You gotta have the right consistency Maria, if it needs a little more liquid to get the right consistency just add a little water.
