Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative?
Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Make sure it contains xanthan gum, or add about 1/2 teaspoon to ensure proper texture.
How should I store leftover lemon biscuits?
Store leftover lemon biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
What can I do if my biscuit dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as this can make the biscuits dense.
