Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the whiskey in this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the whiskey with an equal amount of vanilla extract, orange juice, or apple cider vinegar. Each will add a different flavor profile, but they will still work well in the recipe.
How should I store leftover Angel Wings?
To store leftover Angel Wings, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to a month. Just ensure they are fully cooled before freezing.
What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, while kneading until it's manageable and not overly sticky. Make sure to knead it on a floured surface to help absorb the excess moisture.
