Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the olive oil with another type of oil?
Yes, you can substitute olive oil with other neutral oils such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or sunflower oil. However, keep in mind that the flavor may vary slightly.
How should I store leftover brandy biscuits?
To store leftover brandy biscuits, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.
What can I do if my biscuit dough is too sticky to shape?
If your biscuit dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can make the biscuits dense.
