FAQs
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the bites up to the baking step and store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
2. What kind of biscuit dough should I use?
Any standard refrigerated biscuit dough will work—homestyle, buttermilk, or flaky layers.
3. Can I use homemade biscuit dough instead?
Absolutely. If you prefer from-scratch dough, it works great, though prep time will increase.
