Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the orange juice with another liquid?
Yes, you can substitute the orange juice with another citrus juice like lemon or lime juice for a different flavor. Alternatively, you could use an unsweetened apple juice, but keep in mind that the flavor will change slightly.
How should I store leftover biscuits?
Store leftover orange biscuits 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 2 months. Just make sure to allow them to cool completely before freezing.
What should I do if the dough is too sticky?
If the dough feels too sticky, you can add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a more manageable consistency. Be careful not to add too much flour, as it can result in dense biscuits.
